Abstract:
A liquid consumption device has a tank having an inner space partitioned by an outer wall. The tank has a first inner wall which extends from the outer wall on a one side in a first direction perpendicular to an up-down direction. Further, the first inner wall partitions the inner space into a first space and a second space, which communicate with each other through a first communication hole formed on the first inner wall. A third space, which is partitioned by the first inner wall and the outer wall, and is located below a lowermost position of a surface defining the first communication hole when the tank takes a first attitude is configured to store a particular amount of liquid, which is stored in a fourth space in a state where the tank takes the usage attitude, the fourth space being a part of the second space.

Claim (Index 12):
A liquid consumption device, comprising:\n a tank having an inner space partitioned, by outer wall, from outside, an inlet through which the inner space communicates with the outside of the tank, and outlet through which the inner space communicates with the outside of the tank; a liquid consumption part connected to the outlet, wherein the tank comprises, in a state where the tank takes a usage attitude: a sixth inner wall extending, from the outer wall, in one direction of a first direction perpendicular to an up-down direction, the sixth inner wall partitioning the inner space into a twentieth space in which the inlet is included and a twenty-first space in which the outlet is included, the sixth inner wall being formed with a sixth communication hole through which the twentieth space and the twenty-first space communicate with each other; a seventh inner wall extending in the other direction from a portion which is a part of the inner wall and on the other direction side with respect to the sixth communication hole, the seventh wall partitioning the twenty-first space into a twenty-second space on an upper side and a twenty-third space on a lower side with respect to the seventh wall, the seventh inner wall being formed with a seventh communication hole through which the twenty-second space and the twenty-third space communicate with each other; an eighth inner wall arranged on a lower side of the seventh inner wall and extending from the outer wall in the other direction, the eighth inner wall partitioning the twenty-third space into a twenty-fourth space on an upper side and a twenty-fifth space on a lower side with respect to the eighth wall, the eighth wall being formed with an eighth communication hole through which the twenty-fourth space and the twenty-fifth space communicate with each other; a ninth inner wall extending downward from the eighth inner wall at a position on the one side with respect to the eighth communication hole, the ninth inner wall partitioning the twentieth space into a twenty-sixth space on the other direction side and a twenty-seventh space on the one direction side with respect to the ninth inner wall, the ninth inner wall being formed with a ninth communication hole through which the twenty-sixth space and the twenty-ninth space communicate with each other; and a tenth inner wall extending in the one direction from the ninth inner wall at a position on an upper side with respect to the ninth communication hole, the tenth inner wall partitioning the twenty-seventh space into an twenty-eighth space on an upper side and a twenty-ninth space on a lower side with respect to the tenth inner wall, the tenth inner wall being formed with a tenth communication hole through which the twenty-eighth space and the twenty-ninth space communicate with each other, wherein, in a state where the tank takes the usage attitude, a full level line is indicated on the outer wall, the full level line representing a maximum amount of the liquid storable in the twenty-fifth space and below the eighth inner wall, wherein, in a state where the tank takes a first attitude which is an attitude of the tank when the tank taking the usage attitude is rotated by an angle ranging from 0 degrees to 90 degrees in the other direction about an axis extending in the second direction, a thirtieth space and a thirty-first space are capable of storing the liquid which is stored in the third-second space below the full level line in the state where the tank takes the usage attitude, the thirtieth space being a space partitioned by the eighth inner wall, the ninth inner wall, the tenth inner wall and the outer wall and located on a lower side with respect to a lowermost position of a surface of the tenth inner wall defining the tenth communication hole, and a thirty-first space being a space partitioned by the seventh inner wall and the outer wall and a part lower than a lowermost position of a surface of the seventh inner wall defining the seventh communication hole, wherein, in a state where the tank takes a second attitude which is an attitude of the tank when the tank taking the usage attitude is rotated in the other direction by 180 degrees about the axis extending in the second direction, the twenty-eighth space and the twenty-second space are capable of storing the liquid which is stored in the thirty-second space in the state where the tank takes the usage attitude, and wherein, in a state where the tank takes a third attitude which is an attitude of the tank when the tank taking the usage attitude is rotated in the other direction by an angle ranging from 180 degrees to 270 degrees about the axis extending in the second direction, the twenty-seventh space and a thirty-third space are capable of storing the liquid stored in the thirty-second space in a state where the tank takes the usage attitude, the thirty-third space being a space defined by the sixth inner wall, the seventh inner wall and the outer wall and located on the lower side with respect to a lowermost position of a surface of the seventh inner wall defining the seventh communication hole.
