Abstract: The cartridge includes: a liquid containing portion, a liquid supply portion, an arrangement portion having the liquid supply portion arranged inside thereof and having a bottom wall facing a distal end of the liquid supply portion, in which the bottom wall has an opening portion through which the liquid introduction portion is inserted at a position facing the distal end, a first liquid absorbing member arranged inside the arrangement portion, of which a part of the first liquid absorbing member is exposed from the opening portion, and a second liquid absorbing member arranged inside the arrangement portion and coming into contact with the first liquid absorbing member.

Abstract: A technique for preventing a decrease in an amount of liquid contained in a cartridge is provided. The cartridge includes a liquid containing portion and a liquid supply portion. The liquid supply portion is coupled to the liquid inlet portion due to rotational movement of a containing-portion-rear-wall side of the cartridge downward around a rotation fulcrum, which is located on the insertion direction side, of the cartridge mounting portion. In the insertion direction, a first distance between a liquid flowing-in port and a rear wall inner surface, which is an inner surface of a containing portion rear wall, is shorter than a second distance between the liquid flowing-in port and a front wall inner surface, which is an inner surface of a containing portion front wall.

Abstract: A cartridge includes a casing that demarcates a liquid chamber used for storing a liquid and that is hollow, and a liquid supply section that communicates with the liquid chamber and supplies the liquid in the liquid chamber to a printing apparatus. The casing includes a concave/convex portion.

Abstract: An amount of liquid that will be left in a cartridge without being consumed is reduced. The cartridge includes a liquid containing portion that contains the liquid; a front wall that is located on an insertion-direction side, an insertion direction being a direction of being inserted into the cartridge mounting portion; and a bottom wall that intersects the front wall and in which a liquid supply portion configured to be coupled to the liquid inlet portion is disposed.

Abstract: When a known lid member was merely applied to a bottle that contains ink, there was room for improvement in terms of the operation of the lid member and the way how to bring attention to the handling thereof. A bottle set is provided that includes: a bottle that includes an ink container that contains ink, and an outflow port through which the ink in the ink container flows out to the outside; and a lid member that is configured to attach to and detach from the bottle, and is configured to cover the outflow port in a state of being attached to the bottle. The lid member includes a colored portion that has optical transparency and is colored with a color corresponding to a type of the ink contained in the ink container in at least a portion of the lid member.

Abstract: A cartridge includes a liquid containing portion and a liquid supply portion that includes a cartridge side valve mechanism, the cartridge side valve mechanism includes a cartridge side valve seat in which a cartridge side valve hole is formed, a cartridge side valve body that stops the cartridge side valve hole and has a tip surface positioned adjacent to the supply opening, and a cartridge side urging member that urges the cartridge side valve body in a direction toward the cartridge side valve seat, and the cartridge side valve body has a protrusion that protrudes from the tip surface and pushes the device side valve body to open the device side valve body.

Abstract: A cartridge includes a cartridge side terminal electrically coupled to a device side terminal, a liquid supply portion that is coupled to a liquid introduction portion and that makes a liquid flow to the liquid introduction portion, a terminal positioning portion that performs positioning by receiving a device side terminal positioning portion to regulate movement of the cartridge side terminal with respect to the device side terminal, and a supply portion positioning portion that performs positioning by receiving a device side supply portion positioning portion to regulate movement of the liquid supply portion with respect to the liquid introduction portion. A first direction is a direction intersecting a second direction, the first direction being a direction in which the terminal positioning portion extends, the second direction being a direction in which the supply portion positioning portion extends.
