FLUID STORAGE CONTAINER

摘要

A fluid storage container features outstanding impact resistance and stores a plurality of fluids. The fluid storage container has a case body, a cover, and another cover. The case body has a divider that isolates a waste ink storage unit and an ink pack storage unit, and perimeter walls formed around the divider, thus forming a recess on each side of the divider. The case body is open at the outside edge part of each perimeter wall. The one cover covers the open part of the perimeter wall on the waste ink storage unit side. The other cover covers the open part of the perimeter wall on the ink pack storage unit side. At least one corner of the case can be rendered by an inside wall and an outside wall disposed with a gap there between.

主权项

1. A fluid storage container having a first fluid storage compartment in which fluid can be stored isolated from a second fluid storage compartment in which fluid can be stored, the container comprising:
a case body comprising:
a divider that blocks fluid communication between the first and second fluid storage compartments,a first perimeter wall comprising an inner wall and an outer wall spaced apart from the inner wall, the first perimeter wall disposed around a perimeter portion of the divider on a first side of the divider, the divider and the first perimeter wall defining a first recess that partially defines the first fluid storage compartment, anda second perimeter wall comprising an inner wall and an outer wall spaced apart from the inner wall, the second perimeter wall disposed around a perimeter portion of the divider on a second side of the divider opposite to the first side of the divider, the divider and the second perimeter wall defining a second recess that partially defines the second fluid storage compartment; a first removable cover, the first cover and the first recess defining the first fluid storage compartment when the first cover is coupled with the case body; a second removable cover, the second cover and the second recess defining the second fluid storage compartment when the second cover is coupled with the case body; and a connecting rib that connects a surface of the divider and a surface of the inner wall in at least one of the first or second fluid storage compartments.
