Liquid supply unit mounting mechanism and liquid supply unit

摘要

A technique of enhancing attachment of a liquid supply unit to a liquid ejection device is provided. A holder structure 200 is provided as a mounting mechanism configured to cause a first ink cartridge 100a and a second ink cartridge 100b to be attachable to and detachable from a carriage 27 of a printing device 10. The holder structure 200 has a lever member 230 provided as a rotation mechanism to be rotated and thereby lock the first and the second ink cartridges 100a and 100b. The lever member 230 includes a first leg section 231a, a second leg section 231b formed away from the first leg section 231a and a bridging section 232 formed between the first and the second leg sections 231a and 231b to engage with a main engagement part 120 of each of the ink cartridges 100a and 100b.
