The bottle has an ink container, a nozzle and a joint portion integrally formed with the nozzle and having a thread configured to engage the nozzle with the ink container. The lid member is attachable to and detachable from the bottle. An outflow port is formed in the nozzle. The outflow port is configured such that the ink in the ink container flows out from the outflow port. The lid member has a tubular barrel, a top plate that closes a barrel end of the tubular barrel, and a plug projecting from the top plate toward the nozzle. A distance from the barrel end of the tubular barrel to a distal end of the plug being shorter than a distance from a nozzle end of the nozzle to the joint portion. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A bottle set comprising: a bottle having an ink container configured to contain ink, a nozzle through which the ink in the ink container is configured to flow out, and a joint portion integrally formed with the nozzle and having a thread configured to engage the nozzle with the ink container; and a lid member that is attachable to and detachable from the bottle, and configured to cover the nozzle in a state where the lid member is attached to the bottle, an outflow port being formed in the nozzle, the outflow port being configured such that the ink in the ink container flows out from the outflow port, the lid member having a tubular barrel, a top plate that closes a barrel end of the tubular barrel, and a plug projecting from the top plate toward the nozzle, a distance from the barrel end of the tubular barrel to a distal end of the plug being shorter than a distance from a nozzle end of the nozzle to the joint portion. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The bottle set according to claim 1, wherein the plug enters the outflow port to close the outflow port in a state where the lid member is attached to the bottle. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The bottle set according to claim 1, wherein an outer diameter of the plug is greater than an inner diameter of the outflow port. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The bottle set according to claim 1, further comprising: a communicating portion capable of bringing inside and outside of the lid member into communication with each other in a state where the lid member is attached to the bottle. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The bottle set according to claim 4, wherein the lid member is provided with a thread configured to engage with the bottle, the lid member is configured to be attached to the bottle through engagement using the thread, and the communicating portion is formed as a non-thread portion intersecting the thread. ### Claim 6 (depends on 4) The bottle set according to claim 4, wherein the communicating portion has a shape of a hole that is formed in the lid member and passes through the lid member to bring the inside and the outside thereof into communication with each other. ### Claim 7 (depends on 4) The bottle set according to claim 4, wherein the communicating portion has a shape of a slit formed in the lid member. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The bottle set according to claim 1, wherein a rib projecting outward from the lid member is formed in an outer peripheral portion of the lid member. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The bottle set according to claim 1, wherein the bottle comprises a container member including the ink container and an opening portion communicating with the ink container, and the container member includes a film sealing the opening portion in a state where the ink is contained in the ink container. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The bottle set according to claim 9, wherein the film has a portion exposed outside of the nozzle in a state where the lid member is attached to the bottle.
