Liquid container

A liquid container adapted to be removably mounted on a liquid ejecting apparatus having a liquid ejecting head for ejecting a liquid toward an object, said liquid container being structured to be fixed in said liquid ejecting apparatus separately from said liquid ejecting head so that a liquid is fed to said liquid ejecting head via a flexible pipe member, comprising:

• a container body including a storage space for internally storing said liquid to be fed to said liquid ejecting head;
• a liquid feed port installed on said container body, said liquid feed port being structured so as to interconnect said storage space of said container body and said liquid ejecting head with each other when said liquid container is mounted on said liquid ejecting unit;
• and
• a liquid injection port installed on said container body so that a liquid injection needle for injecting a liquid into said container body is inserted therein, said liquid injection port being structured so as to isolate said storage space of said container body from an outside when said liquid injection needle is not inserted therein.

A waste liquid collection container for collecting a waste liquid sucked and ejected from a liquid ejecting head of a liquid ejecting apparatus, comprising:

• a container body having at least a part formed by a flexible container wall;
• a flexible liquid absorber installed inside said container body;
• a waste liquid injection port through which a waste liquid sucked and ejected from said liquid ejecting head is injected into said container body;
• and
• a waste liquid ejection port through which a liquid from an inside of said container body is ejected,
• wherein said waste liquid collection container is structured so that an inner pressure of said container body becomes negative in correspondence with an ejection of said liquid through said waste liquid ejection port, thereby said flexible container wall is deformed and a volume of said container body is reduced so that said liquid absorber is contracted.
