Patent number: 8449090Abstract: An ink jet recording apparatus has a sub tank that supplies ink from an ink cartridge to an ink jet head carried by a reciprocating carriage. The sub tank has an ink container formed of two opposed resin films welded together around their peripheries, and resin sheet members are attached to the ink container over the weld portion for expanding the ink container and restoring it to its original shape after the ink container is deformed by ink flowing in or out of the ink container. The sheet members may be polyimide tape strips or the like that have higher resilience than the material of the ink container and prevent plastic deformation of the ink container due to expansion and compression thereof as ink flows in and out of the ink container.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2010Date of Patent: May 28, 2013Assignee: Seiko I Infotech Inc.Inventor: Masaru Midorikawa

Publication number: 20100309264Abstract: Provided is a recording apparatus which prevents a plastic deformation of an ink container of a sub tank that may occur when the ink container is expanded and compressed. Therefore, a reinforcing material having higher resilience than a material of the ink container of the sub tank is fixed to a part of the ink container of the sub tank that is apt to cause a plastic deformation. Thus, the plastic deformation of the ink container of the sub tank is prevented, so as to prevent the plastic deformation due to expansion and compression of the ink container when ink flows in and out. A fluctuation of pressure among individual sub tanks is eliminated, and a discharge failure of an ink jet head is prevented, so that deterioration in image quality can be prevented.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 7, 2010Publication date: December 9, 2010Inventor: Masaru Midorikawa
