Abstract:
1. A liquid container, installable in a holder of a liquid jetting apparatus having a holder-side electrode that electrically connects with the liquid container; a liquid feed needle that receives liquid from the liquid container; and a bias force part provided on a lower position than a position of the liquid feed needle and adapted to exert a bias force on the liquid container, when the liquid container is installed in the holder, the liquid container including: a front wall having a liquid feed port arranged to receive the liquid feed needle when the liquid container is installed in the holder, the front wall being parallel to an X-direction and a Z-direction and orthogonal to a Y direction, the X, Z and Y-directions being orthogonal to each other; a container-side electrode arranged to electrically connect with the holder-side electrode when the liquid container is installed in the holder; a first side wall orthogonal to the front wall and parallel to the X and Y-directions; a second side wall orthogonal to the front wall, parallel to the X and Y-directions, and opposite to the first side wall; and a bias-force receiving part provided on the first side wall and not provided on the second side wall, the bias-force receiving part is arranged to receive the bias force applied from the bias force part of the holder when the liquid container is installed in the holder, in a biasing direction such that an extended line of the biasing direction from the bias-force receiving part to the front wall passes between the container-side electrode and the side wall, when viewed in the X-direction.
