PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To recycle a case for an ink cartridge without damaging it. SOLUTION: A supply port member 3 and an ink bag 4 are fixed and integrated together. The supply port member 3 is provided with a nozzle-like supply port 3a, which communicates with the inside of the ink bag 4 through an insertion hole 3b, so that ink can be taken out from the supply port 3a. Screw holes 5 are provided on both the side surfaces of the supply port member 3, respectively. Right and left case components are provided from both the sides of the supply port member 3 in a covering manner, and the case is constituted by screwing a screw into the screw hole 5 so as to integrate the two case components together. The case is connected to the supply port member 3, so as to be integrated with it. The screw is unscrewed from the screw hole 5 after the ink bag 4 runs out of the ink, so that the right and left case components can be recovered and recycled. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
