Abstract: An ink cartridge has a container main body [2] having a through hole [60] for making an ink storage chamber and an atmospheric open chamber [501] to communicate with each other, and an atmospheric open valve [601] having a valve body [65] capable of opening and closing the through hole [60] of the container main body [2] and an elastic member [62] capable of pressing the valve body [65] in a closed direction. In an assembling structure of the atmospheric open valve [601] in the atmospheric open chamber [501], the valve body [65] is placed at such a position blocking the opening of the through hole [60], the elastic member [62] is positioned in the atmospheric open chamber [501] as a bend piece shaped like < is expanded, and the elastic member [62] in the positioned state presses at one end part the valve body [65] in the closed direction and is fixed at an opposite end part to the inside of the atmospheric open chamber [501].

Abstract: An ink cartridge 1 is detachably connected to a head of a record apparatus and has a vessel main body 2 having an ink tank chamber 11 opened to the atmosphere in a state in which the head and the cartridge are connected and an ink end chamber (second ink storage chamber 16, etc.,) communicating with the ink tank chamber 11 and leading to the head. The vessel main body 2 is formed with a first opening 85 communicating with the ink tank chamber 11 and a second opening 86 communicating with the ink end chamber.

Abstract: An ink cartridge storage structure and method provide consistent print density and quality by mixing the ink when the cartridge is removed from the packaging and installed to a printer for use. An ink-filled ink cartridge with an ink supply port installable to the head of a printer is stored inside an individual box made to hold the ink cartridge. The ink cartridge is stored inside the individual box so that the ink supply port is at the top when the box is in the normal upright position.

Abstract: An ink tank cartridge for an ink-jet type recording apparatus is provided. The ink tank cartridge comprises a first chamber and a second chamber formed adjacent the first chamber. A porous member is housed in the second chamber. A partition wall separates the first chamber from second chamber, which communicate through a communication hole therethrough which extends along a portion of the width of the partition wall. An ink supply port extends through a wall of the first chamber and supplies ink to the exterior of the cartridge from the porous member. An air vent is spaced from the ink supply port provides ambient air to the second chamber. The pressure in the first chamber and the second chamber is at a value less than normal atmospheric pressure, and a pressure difference which retains the ink in the first chamber is also maintained between the first and second chambers by the surface tension of the porous member in the vicinity of the communicating hole.
