Liquid storing body having multiple inflow ports

摘要

Provided is a liquid storing body that makes it possible to prevent a liquid containing a sedimentous component whose concentration is higher than a proper range from being supplied to a liquid jetting apparatus. An ink pack 1 is provided with a flexible ink storage bag 2 capable of storing pigment ink containing a sedimentous component, an ink supply part 3 provided at an upper portion of the ink storage bag 2, and a flow path member 4 that connects the interior of the ink storage bag 2 and the ink supply part 3. The flow path member 4 is provided with a vertical tube part 41 extending downward from the ink supply part 3, a lateral tube part 42 extending horizontally from the lower end of the vertical tube part 41, and a vertical tube part 43 extending upward from the end of the lateral tube part 42.

1. A liquid storing body comprising:
a liquid storing part that is capable of storing a liquid containing a sedimentous component; a liquid supply part that is positioned at an upper portion of the liquid storing part, and is capable of supplying the liquid from the liquid storing part to a liquid jetting apparatus; and a flow path that connects the liquid supply part and the interior of the liquid storing part, wherein the flow path includes a plurality of liquid inflow ports at a plurality of positions at different heights, the plurality of liquid inflow ports allowing the liquid to flow from the interior of the liquid storing part into the flow path, out of the plurality of liquid inflow ports, a first liquid inflow port positioned at a lowest position in the flow path is arranged on a downstream side of the other liquid inflow ports in a flow of the liquid toward the liquid supply part, the flow path includes a first flow path part extending in an up-down direction from the liquid supply part to a lowest position in the flow path, a second flow path part extending in a direction intersecting the first flow path part from a lower portion of the first flow path part, and a third flow path part extending upward from the second flow path part, and wherein each of the plurality of liquid inflow ports arranged at the different heights, other than the first liquid inflow port, are located in the third flow path part.
