Patent ID: 8894045

Claim:
A liquid container for containing liquid to be supplied to a liquid ejecting apparatus, the container comprising: a containing section for containing liquid, a liquid delivery section for delivering the liquid to the outside, an air introduction section for introducing external air into the containing section, a deformation section which constitutes a portion of the outer circumference of the containing section and is capable of being deformed, wherein the deformation section includes: a rigid body section which is not deformed by a reduction in pressure in the inside of the containing section, and a flexible section which is deformed with a reduction in pressure in the inside of the containing section due to the delivery of the liquid, thereby allowing the rigid body section to be displaced in a direction in which the capacity of the containing section is reduced, the liquid container further includes a stop section which at least blocks the displacement equal to or greater than a predetermined amount with respect to a portion of the rigid body section, and in the displacement of the rigid body section accompanying a reduction in the pressure, the air introduction section introduces the air into the containing section by transmission of displacement of the other portion of the rigid body section, the displacement of the portion of which has been blocked.
