There is disclosed a liquid supply system comprises a negative pressure generating member containing chamber provided with a liquid supply portion for supply liquid to the outside and an atmosphere connecting portion for connecting with atmosphere for containing a negative pressure generating member holding the liquid inside, a liquid containing chamber connected to the negative pressure generating member containing chamber, forming a sealed space except the connection, and having a liquid containing portion which can generate a negative pressure by deformation, and liquid residual amount detecting means for detecting a liquid level position of the liquid in the liquid containing portion to detect a liquid residual amount in the liquid containing portion. Since the liquid residual amount can be known, a user can know the time to exchange the liquid containing chamber. Moreover, by detecting the liquid state in the liquid containing portion, more stable liquid supply operation can be realized.

A liquid container comprises an inner wall that forms the liquid containing portion to contain liquid therein; an outer wall that forms the container to contain the liquid containing portion therein; and a liquid supply portion for supplying liquid from the liquid containing portion to the outside. Then, the inner wall is arranged to be a member to generate negative pressure in the liquid containing portion by being deformed following the leading-out of the liquid, and also, formed by the material having an elastic modulus change of 25% or less against the temperature change of use environment. With the liquid container thus structured, it is possible to implement the stable supply of liquid by stabilizing the characteristic of negative pressure in the liquid containing portion thereof irrespective of the temperature changes of use environments.

An ink jet head cartridge stored in a closed space. The ink jet head cartridge includes a negative pressure generating member containing chamber and a liquid supply container which has a liquid containing part forming a closed space and generating negative pressure by deforming accompanied with flowing-out of the contained liquid and a box-like body with an inside surface equal to or analogous to the outside surface of the liquid containing part and with an atmosphere communicating part and which is mounted onto a mounting part so as to form the communicating part. As stored, a first sealing member seals the ejection port and a second sealing member seals the atmosphere communicating part, part of the liquid containing part is separated from the box-like body, and the interior of the liquid containing part and the liquid supply passage from the communicating part to the recording head are filled with liquid.

By solving the problem of unstable ink supply which occurs due to bubble stagnation in a communication portion at a high ink supply rate per unit time when a fiber absorbent is used as a negative pressure generating member in the ink tank or ink supply system in which a negative pressure generating member container is adjacent to a liquid container, the present invention provides an ink tank and a liquid supply system which supply ink stably.

An ink supply system which includes an ink jet head for discharging ink and an ink tank retaining ink to be supplied to the ink jet head through a passage. A negative pressure generating container is provided along the passage, and generates negative pressure by a restoring force at the time of being deformed. With the ink supply system thus structured, it becomes possible to perform stable recording, because the fluctuation of flow resistance due to the fluctuation of discharge amount is made smaller, and also, there is almost no fluctuation of pressure along the carriage operation. Also, the retaining amount of ink becomes suitably greater for the performance of higher speed printing, and the replacement of ink tanks is possible, while ink still remains in the negative pressure generating container, hence making it possible to essentially prevent a complete ink depletion.
