Abstract: A liquid housing container includes a suppressing portion at one end portion of a first surface-portion film and one end portion of a second surface-portion film, and at another end portion of the first surface-portion film and another end portion of the second surface-portion film. The suppressing portion suppresses spreading of a gap between the one end portion of the first surface-portion film and the one end portion of the second surface-portion film, and spreading of a gap between the other end portion of the first surface-portion film and the other end portion of the second surface-portion film.

Abstract: The liquid container includes: a container main body including a containment chamber containing a liquid and has some walls including a front-end wall, a rear-end wall, and an upper-surface wall; a liquid outlet connected to a liquid-consuming device to flow out the liquid from the containment chamber to the liquid-consuming device; a liquid inlet on the upper-surface wall at a position closer to the rear-end wall and accepts injection of the liquid from outside of the container main body into the containment chamber; and a visual recognition portion that is provided on the rear-end wall and is see-through so that a position of a liquid surface of the liquid in the containment chamber is recognizable. The rear-end wall has scale marks as indexes of an amount of the liquid in the containment chamber on an outer wall surface and an inner wall surface.

Abstract: Provided is a technique that makes it possible to mitigate impact acting on a liquid container. The liquid container includes a liquid storage portion that is surrounded by a plurality of wall portions, and contains liquid therein, and a plurality of contact portions that are provided on a first wall portion among the plurality of wall portions, and are in contact with terminals on-the-apparatus-side provided in a liquid consumption apparatus. The contact portions are provided at a position close to a first edge side, at least some of the plurality of contact portions form at least one column arranged along the first edge side, the liquid container includes protruding portions outward of outer contact portions, and the protruding portions are provided between an end portion the first edge side of the outer contact portions and the first edge side in a direction from the first edge side toward the column.

Abstract: An ink jet recorder includes a support unit configured to support a recording medium, and a mobile unit including a plurality of containers containing inks of identical composition and a head configured to eject the ink supplied from any one of the plurality of containers. The ink jet recorder is configured to record an image on the recording medium in such a manner that the head performs main scanning by ejecting the ink while changing positions in a first direction, and the mobile unit performs sub-scanning by moving in a second direction intersecting with the first direction.

Abstract: A liquid ejecting apparatus includes: a liquid ejecting head for ejecting liquid; a first flow path through which liquid is supplied from a first container provided at an upstream to the liquid ejecting head provided at a downstream; a second flow path that forms a circulation flow path in which the liquid is capable of circulating through the circulating flow path including the first flow path and the second flow path; and a third flow path through which liquid is supplied from a second container provided at an upstream to the circulation flow path provided at a downstream, and a downstream end of the third flow path is coupled to one of the second flow path and a section on an upstream side of the downstream joint with the second flow path in the first flow path.
