Abstract: A liquid consumption apparatus, onto which a liquid supply member is mounted, includes a liquid delivery unit, a liquid accepting unit and an abutting section. The liquid delivery unit is configured to deliver a liquid from the liquid supply member. The liquid accepting unit is provided below the liquid delivery unit. The abutting section abuts against the liquid supply member. The liquid accepting unit is provided to the abutting section. In a state where the abutting section and the liquid supply member abut against each other, the liquid accepting unit protrudes out closer toward the liquid supply member than a surface where the liquid supply member and the abutting section abut against each other.

Abstract: An adapter is mountable to a liquid consumption apparatus to connect an external source of liquid to the liquid consumption apparatus. The liquid consumption apparatus includes a liquid intake portion for taking liquid into the liquid consumption apparatus and a liquid catcher for catching inadvertently spilled or sprayed liquid, the liquid catcher being provided below the liquid intake portion. The adapter includes a liquid supply portion and an accommodation portion. The liquid supply portion is configured to connect to the liquid intake portion to supply the liquid from the external source to the liquid intake portion. The accommodation portion is located below the liquid supply portion. In a state where the adapter is attached to the liquid consumption apparatus, the accommodation portion accommodates at least a part of the liquid catcher.

Abstract: An attachment member is adapted to be mounted to a mounting section of a printing apparatus from an outside toward an inward direction of the printing apparatus. The mounting section extends from a connecting position of a printing material supply pipe arranged inside of the printing apparatus to the outside of the printing apparatus with a lever being disposed at a position closer to the outside. The attachment member includes a front surface and an upper surface. The front surface has a supply pipe insertion hole to which the printing material supply pipe is inserted. The upper surface intersects with the front surface. The upper surface includes a concave section formed thereon so that a regulating section of the lever is inserted into the concave section when the attachment member is mounted to the mounting section.
