PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an ink jet recorder having a connection mechanism which can prevent leakage of ink under separated state. SOLUTION: Valve units 51, 13 disposed in a connection mechanism comprise abutting rods 56, 65 disposed in cylinder-like cases 52, 61 while being urged in the projecting direction, and seal members 58, 67 for closing ink supply passage under projecting state of the abutting rods 56, 65. The valve units 51, 13 are connected to cause movement of respective abutting rods 56, 65 and ink can be conducted based on movement of respective abutting rods 56, 65. When it is employed in a recorder arranged to supply ink to a sub-tank mounted on a carriage at an ink supply stage, conventional ink supply tube coupling an ink tank and a sub-tank can be eliminated. |
