Cartridge and liquid ejecting apparatus
A technique for suppressing a contact failure between a contact portion and an apparatus-side terminal in a cartridge including a case, a liquid supply port, and a contact portion that is disposed at a corner where a front surface and a top surface intersect each other and is in contact with an apparatus-side terminal of a liquid ejecting apparatus, the liquid supply port is disposed at the center of the case in a width direction in which a first side surface and a second side surface oppose each other, and the contact portion is disposed at a position shifted to one side of the first side surface side and the second side surface side in the width direction.
BOX WITH ALIGNMENT STRUCTURES
A liquid supply, may include a bag and a box to maintain the bag therein, the box including a number of alignment structures formed along an edge of a first wall of the box to mate with a support element. A carton fold structure for a print liquid supply, the fold structure to support and hold a liquid bag including a liquid bag interface, the carton fold structure including multiple planes that, together, form a cuboid shape, each plane to form an outer wall of the carton fold structure, with edges between respective planes; a cut out in one of the edges, the cut out including: a channel extending inwards into a first plane to allow the liquid bag interface to pass through the first plane; and slots extending into the first plane between the channel and the edge associated with the first plane to align to a support element.
LIQUID CONTAINER AND LIQUID EJECTING APPARATUS
To supply a liquid at a stable concentration, a liquid container includes a liquid container bag which contains a liquid, a spacer member which is disposed inside the liquid container bag, liquid introducing portions which are disposed in the spacer member and introduce the liquid, a liquid delivery member which is fixed to one end portion of the liquid container bag and delivers the liquid introduced from the liquid introducing portions to a liquid ejecting apparatus, and a low rigidity portion which changes heights of the liquid introducing portions along with deformation of the liquid container bag.
Print Liquid Supply
An interface structure connectable to a separate liquid reservoir, to connect that liquid reservoir to a receiving station, comprising a liquid interface to fluidically connect to at least one liquid needle of the receiving station, a liquid channel, to fluidically connect the liquid interface to the reservoir, a support wall supporting an integrated circuit laterally next to the liquid channel, the integrated circuit having contact pad contact surfaces, and a front push area adjacent the liquid, the front push area terminating at a front edge that defines a profile height of the interface structure, between said front edge and an opposite distal edge.
INTERMEDIATE TANK FOR CONTINUOUS FLUID DELIVERY
A fluid tank comprises a rigid container and a bag to receive a fluid. The bag is arranged within the container and comprises a fluid opening to allow a fluid to flow therethrough. A perimeter of the bag extends in a first direction and in a second direction and is supported within the container, such that the perimeter of the bag is movable in no more than the first direction and the second direction.
INKJET PRINTER
An inkjet printer includes a main body. An ink containing unit is disposed in the main body and is configured to contain ink to be supplied. The ink containing unit includes an ink refill portion through which ink is refilled and an ink level display surface disposed on a side surface of the main body. The side surface has an opening through which a jammed sheet is removed and a first cover configured to cover the opening. The ink level display surface and the first cover are juxtaposed on the side surface in a horizontal direction.
LIQUID CONTAINER AND LIQUID EJECTION SYSTEM
A liquid container includes a storage portion configured to store the liquid and a connection member. The connection member is provided with a liquid outlet which is inserted with a liquid introduction portion, a container-side electrical connector which makes electrical contact with an apparatus-side electrical connection unit while receive at least +Z direction force from the apparatus-side electrical connection unit, a first receiver configured to receive a first positioning portion, a second receiver configured to receive a second positioning portion, and a recess which houses a protrusion of the case. The recess and the container-side electrical connector are formed at positions which at least partially overlap each other when viewed from a Z direction in a mounting state. In the mounting state, the width of the liquid container in the Z directions is larger than the width in the Y directions and the width in the X directions.
LIQUID DISCHARGE APPARATUS
A liquid discharge apparatus includes a liquid discharge head configured to discharge liquid. The liquid discharge apparatus includes a reservoir configured to store liquid to be supplied to the liquid discharge head. The reservoir is provided at a position lower than the liquid discharge head. The liquid discharge apparatus includes a supply flow path configured to communicate with the liquid discharge head and the reservoir. The supply flow path is provided with a joint detachable from the liquid discharge head. The liquid discharge apparatus includes a retainer configured to retain the joint detached from the liquid discharge head. The joint has a coupler to be coupled to the liquid discharge head. The retainer is configured to retain the joint with the coupler facing up.
Box with alignment structures
A liquid supply, may include a bag and a box to maintain the bag therein, the box including a number of alignment structures formed along an edge of a first wall of the box to mate with a support element. A carton fold structure for a print liquid supply, the fold structure to support and hold a liquid bag including a liquid bag interface, the carton fold structure including multiple planes that, together, form a cuboid shape, each plane to form an outer wall of the carton fold structure, with edges between respective planes; a cut out in one of the edges, the cut out including: a channel extending inwards into a first plane to allow the liquid bag interface to pass through the first plane; and slots extending into the first plane between the channel and the edge associated with the first plane to align to a support element.
Logic circuitry
A logic circuitry package for a replaceable print apparatus component comprises an interface to communicate with a print apparatus logic circuit, and at least one logic circuit. The logic circuit may be configured to identify, from a command stream received from the print apparatus, parameters including a class parameter, and/or identify, from the command stream, a read request, and output, via the interface, a count value in response to a read request, the count value based on identified received parameters.
