Abstract:
1. A liquid container attachable to a liquid consuming apparatus, the liquid container having substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape having a bottom face that is situated to at bottom when the liquid container is attached to the liquid consuming apparatus, and a first side face that is substantially orthogonal to the bottom face, the liquid container comprising: a first liquid storage chamber having a first upper face, a first bottom face, a first upstream opening, and a first downstream opening; a second liquid storage chamber having a second bottom face, a second upstream opening, and a second downstream opening; a connecting flow channel disposed between the first downstream opening and the second upstream opening so as to connect the first liquid storage chamber with the second liquid storage chamber; a first partition wall defines the first bottom face and slopes so as to be lower towards a lowermost part of the first liquid storage chamber; and a second partition wall defines the first upper face and the second bottom face and slopes so as to be lower towards a lowermost part of the second liquid storage chamber, the lowermost part of the second liquid storage chamber being adjacent to the lowermost part of the first liquid storage chamber, the first upstream and downstream openings are adjacent to the first bottom face at the lowermost part of the first liquid storage chamber, and the second upstream and downstream openings are adjacent to the second bottom face at the lowermost part of the second liquid chamber.
