Abstract: A liquid discharge apparatus includes an ink tank configured and arranged to retain a plurality of types of ink including sedimentary ink, a head configured and arranged to discharges the ink, and an ink supply path section configured and arranged to supply the ink from the ink tank to the head. The ink supply path section includes a Cableveyor (registered trademark) accommodating a plurality of ink tubes. A plurality of ink tubes for the sedimentary ink among the plurality of ink tubes are mounted at the same height in a height direction inside the Cableveyor (registered trademark).

Abstract: A liquid discharge apparatus includes an ink tank configured and arranged to retain sedimentary ink, a head configured and arranged to discharge the sedimentary ink, an ink tube configured and arranged to supply the sedimentary ink from the ink tank to the head, and a circulation pump configured and arranged to circulate the sedimentary ink in the ink tube. A connection section between the ink tube and a pipe of the circulation pump is provided at one of a horizontal section of the ink tube and an upper portion of a vertical section of the ink tube.

Abstract: A liquid droplet discharging apparatus includes an ink tank configured to retain ink, a head configured to discharge the ink, an ink supply path configured to supply the ink from the ink tank to the head, and a shape changing section configured to change a shape of the ink supply path such that differences in elevation are formed in a direction of gravity in the ink supply path.

Abstract: There is provided a liquid ejecting apparatus including: a head that discharges liquid having a component which settles down; a storage section that stores the liquid; a supply path that supplies the liquid from the storage section to the head through a path which extends in a horizontal direction; and an acceleration section that accelerates a part of the supply path which includes at least the path with acceleration having a downward acceleration component in the vertical direction. The supply path may include a upstream part which is connected to the storage section, a first connection part which is connected to the upstream part, a horizontal part which is connected to the first connection part and which extends in the horizontal direction, a second connection part which is connected to the horizontal part, and a downstream part which is connected to the second connection part and the head.

Abstract: A liquid dispensing apparatus includes a head that dispenses a liquid containing a sedimentary substance, a liquid tank for storing the liquid, a liquid supply path through which the liquid is supplied from the ink tank to the head via a section having a level difference larger than a predetermined distance in a vertical direction, the section including one or more bent portions including a bent portion of a first type where a downward flow of the liquid is turned to an upward flow, and a bent shape conversion unit configured to change a shape of the section with the level difference, so as to convert the bent portion of the first type in the section with the level difference before the shape conversion into a bent portion of a second type where an upward flow of the liquid is turned to a downward flow.

Abstract: A liquid discharge apparatus includes a head configured and arranged to discharge a liquid including a sedimentary substance, and a liquid supply path configured and arranged to supply the liquid from a liquid tank where the liquid is retained to the head. The liquid supply path has a region with differences in elevation of a predetermined length or more in a vertical direction. The liquid supply path has at least one convex section formed by folding at each of one side and another side in a direction which intersects the vertical direction in the region.

Abstract: A liquid discharge apparatus includes a head configured and arranged to discharge a liquid including a sedimentary substance, and a liquid supply path for supplying the liquid from a liquid tank where the liquid is retained to the head. The liquid supply path has differences in elevation of a predetermined length or more in a vertical direction. The liquid supply path has a portion formed into a stepped shape and an angle formed by a width portion and a height portion in the portion formed into the stepped shape is 45 degrees or more and 90 degrees or less.
