发明名称 Liquid ejecting system
摘要 A liquid ejecting system includes a liquid ejecting device, a liquid storing container, a tube, and a rotation section. The liquid ejecting device is configured and arranged to eject liquid. The liquid storing container is configured and arranged to store the liquid that is supplied to the liquid ejecting device. The tube has flexibility, is provided between the liquid storing container and the liquid ejecting device, and is configured and arranged to supply the liquid, which is in the liquid storing container, to a side of the liquid ejecting device. The rotation section rotatably supports the liquid storing container with respect to the liquid ejecting device. The tube extends toward the side of the liquid ejecting device from a side of the liquid storing container through a passage provided in the rotation section.

主权项 1. A liquid ejecting system comprising: a body having a front surface; a liquid ejecting device configured and arranged to eject liquid on a medium and disposed inside of the body; a discharge section configured and arranged to discharge the medium from the front surface of the body to outside of the body in a discharging direction; a liquid storing container configured and arranged to store the liquid that is supplied to the liquid ejecting device, the liquid storing container having an inlet configured and arranged to receive the liquid from outside of the liquid storing container; a tank unit containing the liquid storing container within the tank unit; a rotation section rotatably supporting the tank unit with respect to the body, the rotation section being formed integrally with the tank unit and being rotatably coupled to the body such that the tank unit rotates around an axis of the rotation unit relative to the body, the rotation section including a passage that is arranged in the rotation section and extends from the tank unit to the body; and a tube having flexibility and provided between the liquid storing container and the liquid ejecting device, the tube being configured and arranged to supply the liquid, which is in the liquid storing container, to the liquid ejecting device, the tube extending toward the liquid ejecting device from the liquid storing container through the passage of the rotation section, the rotation section being configured and arranged to move the liquid storing container between an opening position and a closed position relative to the body such that the inlet is positioned in the discharging direction relative to the front surface while the liquid storing container is at the opening position, and such that the inlet is positioned, relative to the front surface, in an opposite direction opposite the discharging direction while the liquid storing container is at the closed position.
