PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To effectively seal a nozzle and to prevent damage due to invasion or impact of bubble by providing a storage case integrally molded at two surfaces opposed to a bottom, and fixing a flexible lever forming at least one of a plurality of bearers, and a flexible nozzle retaining member covering a discharge part. SOLUTION: The storage case 10 comprises a case member 11 made of resin formed integrally with a lever 14, a beam 17, a flexible nozzle retaining member 12 provided on a surface of an ink jet cartridge in contact with a nozzle, and a smooth film 13 laminated on the surface. At the time of mounting the cartridge, the member 12 is pressed to the surface of the cartridge formed with the nozzle and deformed, the surface formed with the nozzle is brought into close contact with the film 13, and sealed. And, side of a projection of a lower part is brought into contact with the side of the projection near the protrusion 18 at the case front side to prevent deterioration of its sealability due to the fact that the cartridge is pressed to the member 12 to cause its deviation in a Y direction. |
