Description
以下、図面を参照して本発明の第1の実施形態について説明する。なお、各図面を通して同一符号は同一又は対応部分を示すものである。
以下、図面を参照して本発明の第2の実施形態を説明する。なお、本実施形態の基本的な構成は第1の実施形態と同様であるため、以下では特徴的な構成についてのみ説明する。第1の実施形態と同じ構成要素に関しては、同一符号を用いる。
図9は、本実施形態の変形例の廃液保持容器34を示した図である。変形例の廃液保持容器34は、筒状壁35が根元から下端部に向けて開口面積が小さくなるようにテーパ状になっている。すなわち廃液導入口36の開口部における開口面積S5より筒状壁37の下端部の開口面積S6が小さくなるように構成されている。こうすることで、回復ユニット7からの廃液流入時は、外部に飛散しにくくし、逆に傾けられた際には、筒状壁37と吸収体13との隙間に廃液を導き易くする構成となっており、より隙間を効率的に使用することができる。
