PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate attachment of an ink cartridge to a printer. SOLUTION: In a storing state that the ink cartridge 3 is stored in a cartridge storing part 11, a bottom face 22a and a surface 42, and a top face 23a and a surface 43 are curved by the same curvature to be located upper as they are more separated from an ink extraction tube 12. Centers of the curves agree with each other. When the ink cartridge 3 is inserted from an insertion opening 11a and a face to be pressed 44a is pressed, the surfaces 42 and 43 slide respectively along the bottom face 22a and the top face 23a and move until immediately before being turned into the storing state to be completely accommodated in the cartridge storing part 11. Next, when a projection 33 is pressed after a door member 13 is oscillated to near a close position, the face to be pressed 44a is pressed by a coil spring 32, and the ink cartridge 3 is inserted until it becomes the storing state. The ink extraction tube 12 is consequently inserted in an ink feeding part 70. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
