Abstract:
1. A substrate support member configured to support a substrate in a liquid ejecting apparatus that includes a liquid containing body with a flexible liquid containing section that contains a liquid, a liquid containing vessel that contains the liquid containing body, a mounting section to which the liquid containing vessel is attachably and detachably mounted, the mounting section having an apparatus side insertion opening that is formed on a +Y axis direction side and an apparatus side wall section that is formed on a −Y axis direction side, and the liquid containing vessel being inserted in the mounting section in the −Y axis direction from the apparatus side insertion opening to the apparatus side wall section, a liquid supply tube provided to the apparatus side wall section and receiving supply of the liquid from the liquid containing body, and an apparatus side terminal section provided to the apparatus side wall section and electrically connected due to contact with regard to a contact section of the substrate that is provided in the liquid containing body, where three spatial axes that are orthogonal to each other have an X axis, a Y axis, and a Z axis where, out of X axis directions along the X axis, a positive direction is a +X axis direction and a negative direction is a −X axis direction, out of Y axis directions along the Y axis, a positive direction is the +Y axis direction and a negative direction is the −Y axis direction, and out of Z axis directions along the Z axis, a positive direction is a +Z axis direction and a negative direction is a −Z axis direction, the liquid containing section including a liquid inflow section that permits inflow of the liquid between a plurality of flexible wall surfaces, and a supply side adhering section that is formed by adhering the flexible wall surfaces and through which passes a liquid supply member that supplies the liquid from the liquid inflow section to the liquid supply tube, and the liquid containing vessel including a first regulating section that regulates movement of the liquid supply member in the −Z axis direction due to contacting with regard to the liquid supply member from the −Z axis direction side, and a second regulating section that regulates movement of the liquid supply member in the −Z axis direction due to contacting with regard to the liquid supply member from the −Z axis direction side and is positioned more to the +Y axis direction side than the first regulating section, where the X axis, the Y axis, and the Z axis with regard to the liquid containing vessel in a state of being mounted in the mounting section are three spatial axes in the liquid containing vessel, the substrate support member comprising: a first engaging section configured to engage with the liquid containing vessel; and a second engaging section configured to engage with the supply side adhering section, the first engaging section including a position determining section that determines position of the substrate support member with regard to the liquid containing vessel in the Z axis directions due to contacting with regard to the liquid containing vessel from the +Z axis direction, and the position determining section being configured to regulate movement of the liquid supply member in the −Z axis direction through the supply side adhering section.
