Embodiment Construction

[0038] The embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings. The embodiment described below is only an example for implementing the present invention, and it will be understood that the embodiment can be appropriately changed without departing from the intended scope of the present invention. In the following description, the direction in which the ink cartridge 30 is inserted into the cartridge attachment unit 110 will be defined as an insertion direction (an example of a first direction) 51, and the direction opposite to the insertion direction 51 (ie, removal from the cartridge attachment unit 110 The direction of the ink cartridge 30 ) will be defined as the removal direction (an example of the second direction) 52 . In this embodiment, the insertion direction 51 and the removal direction 52 are horizontal. However, the insertion direction 51 and the removal direction 52 may not be horizontal. The direction of gravity will be defined as downward direction 53 ...

Abstract

A liquid supply apparatus includes an attaching portion into which a liquid cartridge is inserted in a first direction. The liquid cartridge includes a first portion and a locking surface. The attaching portion includes a locking portion and a cover which is pivotally movable between an open posture and a closed posture and has a second portion and a protrusion protruding therefrom. The liquid cartridge is pivotally movable in the attaching portion between a first posture and a second posture. In the movement of the cover from the open posture toward the closed posture, the protrusion abuts on the first portion to move the liquid cartridge in the second posture in the first direction until the locking surface is positioned further in the first direction relative to the locking portion while the cover holds the liquid cartridge to prevent the liquid cartridge from changing its posture to the first posture.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a liquid supply device having a cartridge attachment portion to which a liquid cartridge can be attached and a cover that opens and closes an opening of the cartridge attachment portion. Background technique [0002] An inkjet recording apparatus is known in which ink remaining in an ink tank is ejected from nozzles to form an image on an image recording medium. The ink cartridge is detachably attached to the inkjet recording apparatus so that the old ink cartridge can be replaced by a new cartridge every time the ink in the old ink cartridge is depleted. [0003] For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-508720 discloses an ink tank 12 that is detachable from and attachable to the printer 86 . Incidentally, the reference numerals mentioned here are those described in JP2002-508720 publication. More specifically, the ink tank 12 is provided with an engagement mechanism 62 . With ink container 12 ins...
