发明名称 Cartridge case
摘要 A shaft portion moves in a first direction in accordance with a liquid storage amount in a bag by taking up an elastic member which generates a restoring force in the first direction. The shaft portion extends in a third direction orthogonal to the first direction and has a protruding end portion provided at an end in the third direction. An arm portion extending in the first direction is arranged in a case main body and moves along a fourth direction orthogonal to the first and the third directions. A contact portion of the arm portion is arranged on a movement path of the protruding end portion such that the contact portion comes into contact with the protruding end portion that moves in the first direction. A display portion of the arm portion moves along the fourth direction in accordance with the movement of the arm portion.
