摘要: A tank includes: a first liquid chamber for storing first liquid; a first front wall; a first upper wall crossing and extending from the first front wall; a second liquid chamber for storing second liquid; a second front wall; and a second upper wall crossing and extending from the second front wall. The first and second upper walls have first and second injection holes, respectively. The first liquid chamber includes a first space and a second space communicating each other. The first space is aligned with the second liquid chamber in a left-right direction. The second space is aligned with and arranged rearward of the first space and the second liquid chamber. The rear end of the first liquid chamber is positioned rearward of the rear end of the second liquid chamber. The first liquid chamber has a first volume larger than a second volume of the second liquid chamber.

摘要: According to one aspect, the disclosure provides an image recording apparatus including a liquid supplying device. The liquid supplying device includes a tank, a cartridge, an atmospheric communication portion, and a recording portion. The tank has a second storage chamber configured to store liquid, a liquid passage in communication with the second storage chamber, and a gas passage in communication with the second storage chamber. The atmospheric communication portion includes a buffer tank defining a buffer chamber configured to store gas, a single communication flow passage allowing the buffer chamber to communicate with the second storage chamber, and an air communication passage allowing the buffer chamber to communicate with an atmosphere. When the cartridge is attached to the tank, the buffer chamber is positioned below the first storage chamber and the second storage chamber is positioned below the buffer chamber.

摘要: A printing liquid container includes first and second members having a supply port and a valve, respectively. The members rotate with respect to each other between first and second states. The valve closes and opens the supply port in the first and second states, respectively. The first and second members have first and second fitting portions, respectively. The fitting portions fit to a fitted portion of a tank in the first state. The second fitting portion allows rotation of the second member with respect to the fitted portion when the first fitting portion are fitted to the fitting portion. The first member does not rotate together with the second member due to fitting between the fitted portion and the first fitting portion. The second member cannot be removed from the fitted portion due to fitting of the second fitting portion to the fitted portion in the second state.

摘要: A liquid supplying device includes a tank; and a cartridge configured to be attached to the tank and having a first storage chamber configured to store liquid. The cartridge is formed with a communicating opening in communication with the first storage chamber. The tank has a second storage chamber configured to store the liquid, a liquid passage, a gas passage, a joint, an outer wall, an inner wall, an air communication portion, and a narrow-width portion. The liquid passage is in communication with the second storage chamber and has a first vertical portion. The gas passage has a second vertical portion. The first vertical portion, the second vertical portion, and the air communication portion are arranged in this order in the first direction and a direction away from the fifth end portion.
