The present invention relates to an ink cartridge charging apparatus for filling an ink cartridge used in a printer with ink. A tank for accommodating ink for filling and a cartridge, which is a filling target, are mounted on a mounting stand, and the tank and the cartridge are connected through a tube, so a supply flow path is formed. Each water level of the tank and the cartridge is differently located, so ink accommodated inside the tank is automatically supplied to the cartridge through the tube due to difference in atmospheric pressure The tank is elastically fixed by an elastic means, and lifted and lowered according to the amount of residual ink inside the tank, so ink is supplied to the cartridge while the water level is uniformly maintained. The water level of the tank is located to correspond with the water level of ink with which the cartridge is filled. Therefore, filling of ink is automatically stopped when the cartridge is filled with the adequate amount of ink, so the cartridge is conveniently filled with ink. |
