PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a means capable of easily picking up and taking out each ink cartridge when adjoining ink cartridges are pulled out simultaneously in an ink supplying device. SOLUTION: A slide member 135 movable in the inserting/drawing direction 105 is provided in a cartridge case 110. A coil spring 139 provided in the cartridge case 110 is linked to the slide member 135. In a mounting step, the coil spring 139 elongates when the ink cartridge 30 moves the slide member 135, and the ink cartridge 30 is locked in this state. The spring force of the coil spring 139 is different at each accommodation chamber 107. Since the adjoining ink cartridges 30 have different protrusions, the ink cartridge is stopped so that the a wall 42 has a difference level in the inserting/drawing direction 105 when the ink cartridge 30 is unlocked.
