Abstract: A liquid container can be mounted to an apparatus in which an optical sensor is installed. The liquid container has a reservoir storing a liquid, a detection chamber communicates with the reservoir and a displacement member displacing according to an amount of liquid stored in the reservoir. The displacement member has a light shielding part that moves in a first direction between a position where light of the optical sensor is shielded and a position where the light is not shielded and a regulating member regulating movement of the displacement member in a direction crossing the first direction. An inner wall of the detection chamber has a first area facing the light shielding part and transmitting the light of the optical sensor and a second area facing the regulating member. The first area and the second area are connected via a ridgeline having an inter-surface angle larger than 180 degrees.

Abstract: A compression member is used to press a first outer surface of a negative pressure generating member which contacts a surface of a partition wall and to press a second outer surface of the negative pressure generating member which contacts an inner surface of a first recessed portion located opposite the partition wall. The negative pressure generating member is placed in the first recessed portion with releasing the pressure exerted on the first outer surface while maintaining the pressure exerted on the second outer surface. After the negative pressure generating member is placed in the first recessed portion, the pressure exerted on the outer surface of the negative pressure generating member is released.

For this purpose, while performing, on a liquid containing chamber, a primary pressure reduction, a primary injection, a secondary pressure reduction, and a secondary injection in turn, degrees of the primary pressure reduction and secondary pressure reduction are each appropriately adjusted to fill the liquid with a target amount of air remaining.

Abstract: The present invention enables a suitable ink filling state of an ink tank to be achieved by setting ink filling conditions taking prevention of ink leakage during unsealing of an ink supply port into account. An ink tank includes a first storage chamber formed in the ink tank to store an ink absorber, and a second storage chamber also formed in the ink tank to substantially form a closed space except for a communication section communicating with the first storage chamber. After the pressure in the ink tank is reduced to a target pressure through an atmospheric communicating port, the ink tank is internally filled, through an ink supply port, with a target filling amount of ink associated with the target pressure.
