ためのものである。FIG. 4 is a sectional view showing a first conventional example.
The ink cartridge 120 shown in FIG.
4 to maintain a predetermined pressure in the inside of the case 4, an air communication hole 125 provided in the lid 126, a porous body 123 for impregnating the inside of the case 124 with the ink, And a filter 122 for supplying the same. (See, for example, JP-A-2-34351.) Space 1 provided between porous body 123 and lid 126
27 is for preventing the ink from directly contacting the air communication hole 125.
【0004】このような構成によって、記録ヘッドの移
動等に伴うインク流動など、インク吐出に悪影響を与え
るインクの挙動が抑制される。[0004] With such a configuration, the behavior of the ink, which adversely affects the ink ejection, such as the ink flowing due to the movement of the recording head or the like, is suppressed.

経て外部に至る事態は生じない。Assuming that the maximum amount of ink that can be absorbed by the porous body 123 is 100 (units), for example, if the porous body 123 absorbs 80 (units) of ink, the above-mentioned adverse effects are suppressed, and FIG. Like the ink cartridge 120
When the ink is horizontally mounted on the ink discharge unit 128, the ink does not leak from the porous body 123 and reaches the outside through the air communication hole 125.

等から供給される。When the step of attaching the lid 126 to the case 124 after inserting the porous body 123 that does not absorb ink into the case 124 is selected, the two can be bonded using an adhesive or an ultrasonic bonding method. However, in ultrasonic bonding of the plastic housing and lid, it is often the case that mechanical strength can be guaranteed but airtightness can not be guaranteed, so adding a post-process to apply an adhesive for sealing over the joint is added. It is safe. The ink is supplied from the filter 122 side or from the atmosphere communication hole 125 → the injection needle pierced into the porous body 123 or the like.

(When the porous body 123 absorbs 100 units of ink or the case 124 has more than 100 units of ink injected), the ink leaking from the porous body 123 travels along the inner wall of the cartridge to the atmosphere. It flows out of the communication hole 125 and contaminates the recording device and recording paper.

The ink cartridge 101 shown in FIG. 5 includes a porous body 104 made of urethane or the like, a water-repellent porous body 103 made of urethane foam, foamed polyethylene or the like, and an air communication hole 106 provided in a lid 108. . (See, for example, JP-A-2-34351.) The water-repellent porous body 103 is provided between the porous body 104 and the atmosphere communication hole 106, and is disposed so as to be in close contact with the atmosphere communication hole 106. The water-repellent porous body 103 has a structure in which ink cannot penetrate, and air is secured by the porous structure, so that ink leakage can be prevented and holes are three-dimensionally connected. Since the contact with the ink is performed three-dimensionally, even if a certain portion of the hole is closed by the ink fixation, the entire hole is not closed, and the circulation with the atmosphere can be ensured.

ポンジをケース全体に使用しない技術がある。In the first and second techniques, since a sponge such as urethane must be put in the case, only several tens% of the internal volume of the case can be accommodated. Therefore, there is a technique in which a sponge is not used for the entire case.
