摘要： An ink cartridge is removably mounted to a recording apparatus. The ink cartridge includes a main body and first and second protrusions. A particular end of the second protrusion extends further than a particular end of the first protrusion in the insertion direction. The main body includes an ink chamber, a particular wall having a first end and a second end opposite the first end in a further direction, a communication portion that selectively places an interior of the ink chamber and an exterior of the ink chamber into fluid communication, a holding portion positioned opposite the particular wall, and a bottom wall. A distance from a rear end of the bottom wall to the particular end of the second protrusion in the insertion direction is less than a distance from a rear end of the holding portion to an end of the second protrusion in the insertion direction.

摘要： A printing fluid cartridge includes a front face oriented toward a first direction, a printing fluid supply portion positioned at the front face, a rear face positioned opposite the front face and oriented toward a second direction opposite the first direction, at least one electrical interface positioned between the front face and the rear face, and an engagement surface facing in the second direction. The at least one electrical interface is offset from the printing supply portion with respect to a third direction perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction. The at least one electrical interface is positioned closer to the front face than the engagement surface is, and the at least one electrical interface and the engagement surface intersect a plane which is parallel with the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction.

摘要： An ink cartridge for an inkjet recording apparatus includes a membrane for sealing an opening from which air flows out to atmosphere and introduced into an ink chamber. The membrane has a gas-permeable and liquid-impermeable characteristic.A characteristic recapture enhancement section is provided for enhancing recapturement of the gas-permeable and liquid-impermeable characteristic of the membrane. This section is operable when ink from the ink chamber clings to the membrane.

摘要： A print liquid cartridge comprises an ink chamber, a liquid supply portion, and a translucent portion. The ink chamber which accumulates ink therein is positioned between a front side in an insertion direction and a rear side in an opposite direction to the insertion direction. The liquid supply portion which supplies ink stored in the ink chamber to an exterior of the ink chamber is positioned at the front side. The translucent portion which is in fluid communication with an interior of the ink chamber is positioned at the front side. A light-transmitting state of the translucent portion changes in response to a change in the amount of the ink accumulated in the ink chamber. The ink supply portion projects farther forward from the rear side than the translucent portion.

摘要： A liquid cartridge includes a cartridge main body comprising a liquid chamber and an end surface. The liquid cartridge also includes a communicating portion protruding from the end surface of the cartridge main body in a protruding direction which is perpendicular to a width direction. The liquid chamber includes a wide portion and a narrow portion which is narrower than the wide portion in the width direction, and the narrow portion is offset toward a first side of the cartridge main body in the width direction. When the liquid cartridge is oriented such that the communicating portion faces downward and liquid is stored in the narrow portion, a position of center of gravity of the liquid cartridge is offset toward the first side of the cartridge main body from an area occupied by the communicating portion when the liquid cartridge is viewed in a vertical direction.
