LIQUID CONTAINING BODY, ELECTRIC CONNECTION BODY, AND LIQUID CONSUMING APPARATUS

摘要

Simplification of a connecting operation for liquid supply between a liquid consuming apparatus and a liquid containing body at least a part of which is flexible is achieved. A printer 10 has a liquid supply apparatus 20 on a right side wall 106. The liquid supply apparatus 20 has an attachment/detachment unit 30 in an inclined manner such that a K1-axis direction in which a liquid introduction portion 362 thereof extends for liquid introduction forms an angle a1 that is larger than 0 degree and smaller than 90 degrees in a clockwise direction with respect to the right side wall 106 when the printer 10 is viewed from vertically above. A liquid containing body 50 has an operation member 53 on an upper end side of a flexible liquid containing portion 52, and a liquid supply portion 57 capable of being connected to the liquid introduction portion 362 of the attachment/detachment unit 30 in the K1-axis direction is connected to the operation member 53.

主权项

1. A liquid containing body to be connected to a liquid consuming apparatus having a liquid introduction portion,
wherein the liquid consuming apparatus has a right side wall constituting a first side face with respect to a front face of the apparatus, and a left side wall constituting a second side face with respect to the front face, when the liquid consuming apparatus has the liquid introduction portion on the right side wall, an angle a1 is set larger than 0 degree and smaller than 90 degrees, the angle a1 being formed, in a plan view of the liquid consuming apparatus as viewed from vertically above, in a clockwise direction with respect to the right side wall by an introduction portion extending direction that is a direction in which the liquid introduction portion extends for liquid introduction, when the liquid consuming apparatus has the liquid introduction portion on the left side wall, an angle a2 is set larger than 0 degree and smaller than 90 degrees, the angle a2 being formed, in the plan view, in a counterclockwise direction with respect to the left side wall by the introduction portion extending direction, and the liquid containing body comprises: a liquid containing portion at least a part of which is flexible; an operation portion that is located at an upper part of the liquid containing body when the liquid containing body is connected to the liquid consuming apparatus, and can be held; and a liquid supply portion that is connected to the operation portion, can be connected to the liquid introduction portion in the introduction portion extending direction, and guides liquid contained in the liquid containing portion from the liquid containing portion to the connected liquid introduction portion.
