  • a recording apparatus has a cartridge mounting portion or retainer for detachably accepting an ink cartridge for supplying ink to a recording or print head.
  • Various types of the recording apparatuses are known wherein most of them use one of the three technologies thermal, piezoelectric, and/or continuous.
  • the print head or recording head may be formed integrally with the retainer, and the retainer and/or the print head may be mounted on a carriage, which is reciprocally moved relative to a print medium.
  • the receiving portion is provided on a stationary part of the apparatus, wherein ink is supplied from the receiving device of the retainer to a print head via an ink tube or the like.
  • the print head is part of the disposable ink cartridge, wherein the ink cartridge and the print head may come in two pieces, which are combined prior to mounting to the retainer.
  • ink cartridges have been equipped with a memory chip, e.g. for monitoring the amount of ink consumed.
  • the memory chip is accessible through contact elements, wherein the retainer is provided with respective terminal elements connected to a processing unit on the recording apparatus and/or a computer or the like connected to the recording apparatus.
  • a contact between the terminal elements on the retainer and the contact elements on the ink cartridge must be guaranteed. Therefore, it is known to provide the ink cartridge and the retainer with respective engagement elements.
  • the engagement elements may be exposed to wear and/or undesired plastic deformation, which may result in a malfunction of the engagement elements.
  • a holder for mounting on a retainer of an ink jet recording apparatus having an ink receiving device and a terminal portion is provided, said holder being formed as an at least partially open shell for receiving at least one ink tank, and said holder comprising at least one contact element provided on an outer surface of said holder for contacting a respective terminal portion provided on the retainer.
  • the disposable ink cartridge is divided in two parts, namely a holder and a (disposable) ink tank.
  • the holder is provided with contact elements for contacting the terminal portion on the retainer.
  • the (disposable) ink tank may be designed relatively simple, compared with the holder.
  • different holders may be necessary, wherein different holders may be designed to receive a common ink tank. This allows a user to modify several printing apparatuses by installing respective holders and using the same ink tank or ink tanks of the same type in different printing apparatuses. Consequently, the consumer is no longer forced to remember his printer type for buying ink tanks. In addition, the costs for manufacturing a respective ink tank may be further reduced.
  • the holder comprises at least one engagement element for cooperating with a respective mounting element on the retainer.
  • engagement elements for cooperating with the retainer of the recording apparatus are part of an intermediate element or holder and no longer part of the disposable product.
  • the engagement element is formed so as to ensure reliably a stable contact between the contact element on the holder and the contact portion on the retainer. Shape, size and/or positioning of engagement elements and/or the contact elements provided on the holder are chosen to meet requirements of a recording apparatus.

  • two internal contact members are provided which are contacting one common contact element provided on the ink tank, wherein an electrical circuit is shorted by inserting a respective ink tank. This allows a reliable detection of an inserted ink tank.
  • resetting means are provided for resetting said memory device.
  • said memory device may be reset without detaching the holder from the retainer.
  • the resetting means may be realized as internal resetting means, wherein for example a counter is automatically reset to zero once a maximum value is reached.
  • the resetting means include an external element, which preferably, is provided on a part of the holder not accessible if the ink tank is attached to the holder. Thereby, a misuse of the external resetting element during operation is prevented.
  • actuating means are provided for triggering the resetting means when mounting an ink tank on said holder and/or removing an ink tank from said holder.
  • Resetting of said memory device may be achieved by shorting a circuit. If resetting is achieved when mounting the ink tank and/or removing the ink tank, the use of such a system is very convenient.
  • means may be provided for detecting if the same cartridge is re-installed without being refilled. This means may include a second memory device provided on the ink tank.
