<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a liquid container which comprises an air intake mechanism to prevent pulsation during discharge and can decrease the amount of residual liquid. <P>SOLUTION: In the liquid container, an air reservoir 3 forms an air accumulation in a ringlike space expanding larger than the flow passage cross-section of a narrow part 4, and the narrow part is configured to be a circular opening formed in such a manner that a peripheral wall between the air reservoir and a container body protrudes inwardly. Further, on the peripheral wall for the narrow part almost opposite to a gripper in which an air inlet is formed, a residual liquid circulation groove 6 is provided for serving as a flow passage which penetrates the peripheral wall, successively connects the container body 10 with the air reservoir through its inner surface, and divides an air layer formed in the air accumulation. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT</p> |
