Abstract

See full text

A cartridge 4 is mounted on a carriage 8 and has a liquid retaining member 460 placed in a recess 421 of a casing 420. A first side wall 425 constituting the casing 420 includes a first side wall part 425a and a second side wall part 425b aligned sequentially from a first end wall 423-side in a first direction from a first end wall 423 toward a second end wall 424. The first side wall part 425a includes a first side wall area 425a1 located on a bottom wall 422-side and extended to be substantially perpendicular to the bottom wall 422, and a second side wall area 425a2 arranged to be inclined with respect to the bottom wall 422. The second side wall part 425b is extended from the bottom wall 422 to be inclined with respect to the bottom wall 422. This configuration enables the liquid retaining member of containing a liquid such as ink to be compressed in the casing, while allowing for accurate positioning of the cartridge and improving attachment of the cartridge.
