Abstract: An inkjet recording apparatus includes an ink ejection surface, a washing liquid storage portion, a washing liquid nozzle, a mesh sheet, and a sponge member. The washing liquid storage portion includes a supply surface adjacent to the ink ejection surface. The washing liquid nozzle includes a communicating hole that is communicated from a supply port formed in the supply surface to an inside of the washing liquid storage portion, and forms a concave meniscus by a surface of the washing liquid in the communicating hole. The mesh sheet is provided in close contact with an opposite rear surface of the supply surface, and has an opening that is smaller in size than an inner diameter of the communicating hole. The sponge member is provided in a compressed state in the inside of the washing liquid storage portion, presses the mesh sheet toward the opposite rear surface of the supply surface.

Abstract: An ink container includes a liquid storing container and a container case. The liquid storing container is filled with an ink and provided with a spout discharging the ink at one end side. The container case contains the liquid storing container and fixes one end of the liquid storing container. The ink storing container contracts and lengthens in forward and backward directions in accordance with reduction in the ink from a state where the ink is filled inside. The container case includes a first housing part and a second housing part. The first housing part houses the liquid storing container in an ink filled state. The second housing part has the height dimension smaller than the height dimension of the first housing part and houses a lengthened amount of the liquid storing container at another end side of the first housing part depending on the reduction in the ink.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus has a developer container removably connected thereto, a developer feeding mechanism, a drive mechanism, and a torque limiter. The developer container includes a cylindrical container body having a developer discharge port, and a shutter fitted to be rotatable to open and close the developer discharge port. When the drive mechanism rotates the developer container in the developer feeding direction, while the torque limiter keeps the shutter stationary, the container body rotates through a predetermined angle to open the developer discharge port, and as the developer container continues to be rotated, the developer is fed through the developer discharge port. When the developer container is rotated in the direction reverse to the developer feeding direction, while the torque limiter keeps the shutter stationary, the container body rotates through a predetermined angle in the reverse direction to close the developer discharge port.

Abstract: An ink-jet recording apparatus includes a sub tank that pools an ink supplied from a container, a recording head, a heater, a temperature sensor, and a control unit that supplies the ink from the container to the sub tank when an allowed state has been established. The control unit determines that the allowed state has been established when the temperature of the sub tank is equal to or higher than a tank control temperature. The sub tank has a capacity that is higher than the capacity per container.

Abstract: In an inkjet recording apparatus, a recording head has an ink ejection port through which ink is ejected, a cleaning liquid supplying portion has a cleaning liquid supply port through which cleaning liquid for cleaning an ink ejection surface having the ink ejection port, is supplied, and a cleaning member cleans the ink ejection surface by the cleaning liquid by moving while in contact with the ink ejection surface. The cleaning liquid supplying portion includes a main body portion and a protruding portion. The main body portion is disposed on an upstream side of the recording head in a moving direction of the cleaning member. The protruding portion protrudes from the main body portion toward a downstream in the moving direction, and covers, from below, lower ends of side surfaces of the recording head and the main body portion that face each other in the moving direction.

Abstract: A coupling structure which couples an ink container to a supply target includes a cap and a joint. The cap includes a container side communication path and a container opening/closing valve. The container side communication path is communicated with a supply port. The container opening/closing valve opens and closes the supply port. The joint includes a main body side communication path, a main body opening/closing valve and a first biasing member. The main body side communication path is communicated to an inflow port. The main body opening/closing valve opens and closes the inflow port. The first biasing member biases the main body opening/closing valve to a side of the ink container. The main body opening/closing valve is protruded to a side of the ink container closer than the inflow port even if the first biasing member is mostly contracted.
