LIQUID-CONSUMING APPARATUS

摘要

A liquid-consuming apparatus includes: a tank including a liquid storage chamber which stores a liquid, an inlet formed in a surface of the tank, and an outlet through which the liquid from the liquid storage chamber flows; a cap which is movable between a first position and a second position; a cover which is movable relative to the tank between a closed position and an open position; and a holding member which is connected to the cap and which holds the cap at the second position. The cap at the second position or the holding member is configured to obstruct a movement of the cover from the open position to the closed position.

1. A liquid-consuming apparatus, comprising:
a tank including a liquid storage chamber, an inlet formed in a surface of the tank, and an outlet formed below the inlet; a cap which is detachably attachable to the inlet; a cover configured to move relative to the tank between a closed position and an open position, the closed position being a position where the inlet is covered, the open position being a position where the inlet is exposed to an exterior of the tank; and a holding member made of an elastic deformable material, connected to the cap, and configured to hold the cap away from the tank by an elastic force against a self-weight of the cap in a detached state of the cap, wherein under a condition that the cap is in the detached state, the holding member is configured to hold the cap at a position where the cap or the holding member overlaps with a locus of the cover moving between the open position to the closed position.
