Abstract: There is provided a sealing structure in which sealing is performed by covering a fluid passage of a housing using a displacement member that is displaceable according to change in pressure. The displacement member includes a first projecting section which is a sealing section in an outer peripheral section, and a second projecting section which is formed in an inner peripheral section rather than the first projecting section, and the housing is capable of fixing the displacement member in a state in which the first projecting section is compressed, and includes a depression section, in which the second projecting section is placed when the displacement member is fixed, in a position which faces the second projecting section.

Abstract: A cleaning liquid supplying apparatus includes a first storage section, a pressure-accumulating second storage section, a plurality of cleaning liquid ejecting sections, a liquid sending section, a plurality of individual flow channel opening/closing sections, and a control section. The first storage section stores cleaning liquid. The cleaning liquid ejecting sections are connected to the second storage section via a plurality of individual flow channels having upstream ends located at positions where the upstream ends are open to a liquid reservoir when a predetermined amount of the cleaning liquid is stored in the second storage section. The liquid sending section is provided midway along a first flow channel and sends the cleaning liquid in the first storage section to the second storage section. The individual flow channel opening/closing sections open/close the respective individual flow channels.
