PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress entering of dust from an inlet when replenishing liquid to a liquid storage container of a liquid supply system, without complicating a work for replenishing liquid to the container through an inlet.SOLUTION: A horizontally opened inlet is provided at an upper position of one lateral surface of a liquid storage container, where the liquid storage container, when replenished with liquid, is tilted down so that the inlet is directed upward in a vertical direction. Further a cover member for covering the upper portion of the inlet is provided, and the cover member, in a state before the liquid storage container is tilted down, is pivotally supported at a position above the liquid storage container and opposite to the position on which the liquid storage container is provided. This makes it hard for dust to be accumulated in the vicinity of the inlet so that entering of the dust from the inlet can be suppressed when replenishing liquid to the container. Further, with the liquid storage container tilted down, the cover member can be rotated in a direction of separating from the liquid storage container so that liquid replenishing work can be performed easily. |
