  • Patent number: 11827031
    Abstract: A liquid ejecting apparatus includes: a liquid ejecting head configured to eject a liquid from a nozzle provided on a nozzle surface; a first storage portion that has an introduction portion into which the liquid accommodated in a liquid accommodating portion is introduced, the introduction portion being provided at an upper portion of the first storage portion; a second storage portion that communicates with the first storage portion via a communication passage and to which the liquid is supplied from the first storage portion due to a water head difference; a supply flow path for supplying the liquid from the second storage portion to the liquid ejecting head; a pressurizing portion that pressurizes an inside of the second storage portion; and a first valve configured to close the communication passage at the time of pressurization by the pressurizing portion.

  • Patent number: 11007782
    Abstract: A control method of a liquid ejecting apparatus including a liquid ejecting head that discharges a liquid from a nozzle, a cap configured to form a closed space where the nozzle is open, the cap being configured to move between a closed space forming position at which the cap forms the closed space and a retreated position at which the cap is farther from the liquid ejecting head than at the closed space forming position, and a suction mechanism configured to suck an inside of the cap, the method including: performing suction of the inside of the cap by the suction mechanism during the movement of the cap from the retreated position to the closed space forming position.

  • Patent number: 7867126
    Abstract: A differential case for a vehicle and a differential device for a vehicle supplying sufficiently lubrication oil to a gear peripheral portion as a supported portion of a pinion gear in order to prevent a bonding of the gear peripheral portion of the pinion gear. The differential case or the differential device for the vehicle comprises a pair of pinion gear supporting portions (10, 11) supporting slidably a pair of pinion gears (3, 4), and a lubrication oil introducing portion (7, 8) provided around a peripheral portion of the pair of pinion gears (3, 4) to introduce lubrication oil into a clearance between sliding faces of the pair of pinion gears (3, 4) and pinion gear supporting faces (10a, 11a, 10b, 11b) of the pair of pinion gear supporting portions (10, 11).
