Liquid cartridge

A liquid cartridge mounted while being in contact with a part of a liquid ejecting apparatus and turning around said liquid ejecting apparatus, comprising:

• a liquid accommodating section for containing a liquid;
• a liquid supplying part, which communicates with said liquid accommodating section and has a supply valve pushed up by a liquid supplying needle when said liquid supplying needle of said liquid ejecting apparatus is inserted;
• and
• an atmospheric valve for sealing a communicating hole which allows said liquid accommodating section to communicate with atmosphere, while opening said communicating hole by being moved by a contact member formed at said liquid ejecting apparatus in a direction substantially parallel to a direction, in which said liquid supplying needle is inserted into said liquid supplying part, when said liquid ejecting apparatus is mounted, wherein
• an angle, by which said liquid cartridge turns around said liquid ejecting apparatus in order that said atmospheric valve is in contact with said contact member of said liquid ejecting apparatus taking a point at which said liquid cartridge turns around said liquid ejecting apparatus as an axis, is smaller than an angle, by which said liquid cartridge turns around said liquid ejecting apparatus taking said point as an axis in order that said supply valve is in contact with said liquid supplying needle.

A liquid cartridge mounted while being in contact with a part of a liquid ejecting apparatus and turning around said liquid ejecting apparatus, comprising:

• a liquid accommodating section for containing a liquid;
• a liquid supplying part, which communicates with said liquid accommodating section and a liquid supplying needle of said liquid ejecting apparatus is inserted into;
• and
• an atmospheric valve for sealing a communicating hole which allows said liquid accommodating section to communicate with atmosphere, while opening said communicating hole by being moved by a contact member formed at said liquid ejecting apparatus in a direction substantially parallel to a direction, in which said liquid supplying needle is inserted into said liquid supplying part, when said liquid ejecting apparatus is mounted, wherein
• a contact part between said atmospheric valve and said contact member is provided at a position more closer to a point, at which said liquid cartridge turns around said liquid ejecting apparatus, than said liquid supplying part.
