Printing apparatus and liquid storage member
The printing apparatus of the present invention includes: a print head; and a liquid storage container in which a liquid storage chamber that stores a liquid to be supplied to the print head, an atmosphere communication chamber that communicates with the atmosphere, and a communication flow path that causes the liquid storage chamber and the atmosphere communication chamber to communicate are formed integrally. The liquid storage container can take a first posture in which the atmosphere communication chamber is located under the liquid storage chamber in the direction of gravity and a second posture in which the atmosphere communication chamber and the liquid storage chamber are located side by side in the horizontal direction. In the case where the liquid storage container is in the second posture, the liquid injection portion and the communication flow path are located on the upper side of the liquid storage container.
Printing-fluid cartridge including contact surface for providing positioning of the printing-fluid cartridge
A printing-fluid cartridge is inserted into a printing-fluid consuming apparatus in an insertion direction crossing a gravitational direction and attached thereto in a first posture. The printing-fluid cartridge includes: a storage chamber, a supply portion having a supply port, an upper surface and a locking surface positioned upward of the storage chamber, an electrical interface disposed at the upper surface, and a contact surface positioned rearward relative to the supply port of the supply portion in the insertion direction in the first posture. The printing-fluid cartridge inserted in the printing-fluid consuming apparatus is movable between the first posture and a second posture. In the first posture, the locking surface engages a lock portion and the contact surface abuts against a positioning portion. In the second posture, the locking surface is positioned downward relative to the lock portion and the contact surface is separated from the positioning portion.
Liquid ejecting apparatus
A liquid ejecting apparatus includes a liquid ejecting head that ejects liquid and an attachment portion to which a liquid container that stores the liquid supplied to the liquid ejecting head is detachably attached. The attachment portion includes a liquid inlet portion that is coupled to a liquid outlet provided in the liquid container, and an urging mechanism that urges the liquid container in a direction opposite to an attaching direction in which the liquid container is attached to the attachment portion. The urging mechanism includes an elastic member that is in close contact with the liquid container attached to the attachment portion and that is provided below the liquid inlet portion in a direction of gravity.
Printing apparatus and method for controlling printing apparatus
A printing apparatus that performs printing on a medium while being manually moved relative to the medium, the printing apparatus including a first discharger including a first nozzle row that discharges a first liquid, a second discharger including a second nozzle row that discharges a second liquid and is so provided as to be separate from the first nozzle row in a first direction perpendicular to the first nozzle row, a movement detection section that detects the moving direction of the printing apparatus viewed from the side facing the printing apparatus while the printing apparatus is moved, and an error process section that carries out an error process when printing using both the first and second dischargers is performed and the moving direction detected by the movement detection section deviates from the first direction.
LIQUID REPLENISHING CONTAINER, LIQUID REPLENISHING SYSTEM, AND LIQUID STORAGE CONTAINER
A liquid replenishing container configured to replenish recording liquid to a liquid storage container having a receiving portion of the recording liquid, includes a holding portion that holds recording liquid to be replenished to the liquid storage container; and an injecting portion that has an opening to discharge the recording liquid in the holding portion, and that is inserted into the receiving portion of the liquid storage container, wherein the opening opens so as to face an inner wall of the receiving portion.
Mobile device and liquid storing cartridge
A mobile device configured to be coupled to a counterpart device includes a driving section configured to be driven by electric power, a coupling section configured to be coupled to the counterpart device, and an accommodation section configured to accommodate an all-solid-state battery. When the counterpart device is coupled to the coupling section, the driving section is driven by electric power supplied from the counterpart device, and when the counterpart device is not coupled to the coupling section, the driving section is driven by electric power supplied from the all-solid-state battery.
Liquid ejecting head and liquid ejecting apparatus
A liquid ejecting head configured to eject a liquid in a first direction includes an upper surface facing a direction opposite to the first direction, and a gripping portion provided on the upper surface to grip the liquid ejecting head.
Liquid storage pack
Provided is a liquid storage pack including: a flat flexible bag member storing a liquid to be supplied to a liquid ejection apparatus; and a spacer member provided inside the bag member. The spacer member has an outer shape that is symmetrical with respect to a predetermined reference plane, and is disposed such that, in a state where the bag member is fully filled with the liquid, the reference plane is offset from a center plane of the bag member in a thickness direction of the bag member, the center plane passing a center of the bag member in the thickness direction and being perpendicular to the thickness direction. This liquid storage pack can stably supply the liquid therein at a uniform concentration.
RECORDING APPARATUS
A recording apparatus 101 includes a carriage 21 mounted with a liquid storage portion 46 and a recording head 22, the carriage 21 being movable to a visual check position, where liquid in the liquid storage portion 46 is visually checkable through a front surface 43F, and to a recording position, where the recording head 22 ejects the liquid to a medium, and light emitting units 81 and capable of illuminating the inside of the liquid storage portion 46 at least when the carriage 21 is positioned at the visual check position.
Rotary printing integrated ink box for seal printing
A rotary printing integrated ink box special for seal printing comprises an ink box body (1) with a cylindrical or elliptic cylindrical outer contour, a spray head (6) with a circuit board (5) is arranged outside the ink box body (1), the spray head (6) corresponds to an ink outlet (3), and contacts (7) connected with control lines of the spray head (6) are integrated on the circuit board (5); and a rotary fixed surface of the ink box body (1) is parallel to a rotary injection surface of the spray head (6).
