发明名称 Waste liquid container and waste liquid discharging device
摘要 A waste liquid container that can be installed to a waste liquid discharging device main body. The waste liquid container includes an insertion hole into which a waste liquid discharging nozzle, which is included in the waste liquid discharging device main body, having a large diameter portion and a small diameter portion located on a front end side relative to the large diameter portion is inserted. When the waste liquid container is installed to the waste liquid discharging device main body, the insertion hole guides the small diameter portion by being brought into contact with an outer circumferential face of the small diameter portion in an inner face of the insertion hole and determines a position of the waste liquid container in a diameter direction of the large diameter portion with respect to the waste liquid discharging device main body by being fitted with the large diameter portion.

主权项 1. A waste liquid container that is detachably installed to a waste liquid discharging device main body, the waste liquid container comprising: an insertion hole into which a large diameter portion of a waste liquid discharging nozzle can be inserted, the waste liquid discharging nozzle being included in the waste liquid discharging device main body, the waste liquid discharging nozzle having the large diameter portion, a small diameter portion located on a front end side relative to the large diameter portion, and a taper portion located between the large diameter portion and the small diameter portion, the taper portion having a diameter that is less than the large diameter portion and greater than the small diameter portion, wherein when the waste liquid container is installed to the waste liquid discharging device main body, the insertion hole receives the taper portion after receiving a discharging opening of the waste liquid discharging nozzle and determines a position of the waste liquid container in a diameter direction of the large diameter portion with respect to the waste liquid discharging device main body by being fitted with the large diameter portion, wherein an ink absorber is held in the waste liquid container, the ink absorber having a groove, wherein the groove has a width narrower than an inner-side opening of the insertion hole to guide the small diameter portion of the waste liquid discharging nozzle.
