Abstract
The liquid container includes: a container body having a built-in closed storage space for storing liquid, a liquid leading-out path for sending liquid in the storage space to a liquid consumption apparatus, an opening at one end thereof being opened on an outer surface of the container body and an opening at the other end thereof being opened in the storage space, a pressurized fluid introducing path for introducing a pressurized fluid into the storage space, an opening at one end thereof being opened on the outer surface of the container body and an opening at the other end thereof being opened in the storage space, and resistance generation unit arranged in the storage space for giving a resistance to a liquid flow in the storage space.
Claims1
A liquid container for storing a liquid to be fed to a liquid consumption apparatus, comprising:
- a container body having a built-in closed storage space for storing the liquid;
- a liquid leading-out path for sending the liquid in said storage space to the liquid consumption apparatus, an opening at one end thereof being opened on an outer surface of said container body and an opening at the other end thereof being opened in said storage space;
- a pressurized fluid introducing path for introducing a pressurized fluid into said storage space, an opening at one end thereof being opened on said outer surface of said container body and an opening at the other end thereof being opened in said storage space;
- and
- a resistance generation device arranged in said storage space to resist a liquid flow from said storage space,
- wherein a buffer chamber is formed in the middle of said pressurized fluid introducing path, said buffer chamber having a flow path sectional area larger than a flow path sectional area of other parts of said pressurized fluid introducing path.
