  • Publication number: 20210146693
    Abstract: A connector includes a damper, a tube connecting member, and a sealing member having elasticity for preventing leakage of ink from between the damper and the tube connecting member. The tube connecting member includes a coupling part coupled to the damper by overlapping the damper in a radial direction of the flow path for each combination in which the flow path of the damper and the flow path of the tube connecting member are connected to each other. The sealing member is disposed in contact with the coupling part. The tube connecting member includes a continuous part continuously formed across multiple coupling parts, and a tongue-shaped piece portion extending from the continuous part. The continuous part is disposed on an outermost side of the connector in the vicinity of the sealing member. The tongue-shaped piece portion includes a claw that engages with the damper on a free end side.
