PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To mount an ink bottle by a light operation without danger in an apparatus for discharging the bottle by using a discharging lever. SOLUTION: The apparatus for discharging an ink bottle comprises a swing able discharging lever 7, a first link 21 connected to the lever and reciprocated, a second link 22 connected to the first link, and a third link 23 having an engaging piece 28 engaged with a hook 27 of the second link. In this case, the link 23 has an operating portion 10 of the bottle 2. A cam 30 of the link 22 is brought into contact with a contact shoe 29. When the lever 7 is oscillated to a discharge side, the three links are interlocked to remove the bottle 2 from a nozzle 4. The moved second link is raised by the cam 30 and the contact shoe 29. and the hook and the engaging piece are removed. The third link 23 is removed from the second link 22. Thereafter, when the bottle is mounted at the nozzle, even when the third link 23 is pressed, the lever 7 is not interlocked and hence no danger occurs to an operator.
