  • Patent number: 6783219
    Abstract: An ink cartridge includes a hollow ink tank body defining an accommodating chamber therein. The ink tank body has an ink outlet port and a mounted seat being formed on a bottom surface thereof. A cover member has an ink filling inlet formed therein. The cover member is fixedly secured to the hollow ink tank body and sealing the accommodating chamber of said hollow ink tank body. A pressure regulator is mounted on the mounted seat and has a box body, an elastic member, and a cover body. As a result of a negative pressure will increase during printing, the elastic member will change its shape and allow air pass through it unidirectional, and because the elastic member has an elastic force, the ink tank still maintains a certain amount of negative pressure and thereof the ink will not leak through the pressure regulator to outside.

  • Publication number: 20030184625
    Abstract: An ink cartridge includes an ink tank body, a cover body sealed on the ink tank body and a ventilated member. The cover body has an ink-charging inlet, a fastened recess, an air inlet port formed by an upper opening adjacent to the fastened recess and a lower opening, and a sealing member being disposed underneath the cover body. Further, the ventilated member has a fastened portion for correspondingly fastening into said fastened recess and a piercing portion connected to the fastened portion, and the piercing portion is formed therethrough with at least one air channel extending along an axial direction. Whereby the piercing portion is for piercing said sealing member to make said air inlet port be opened to an ambient atmosphere that enters to an interior of the ink tank body through the air channel of the piercing portion.
