Abstract:
A liquid supplying mechanism includes: a tank including a liquid storage section configured to store a liquid, and a liquid injection port configured to inject the liquid into the liquid storage section; and a bottle configured to replenish the liquid into the tank. The bottle includes: a bottle section configured to store the liquid; and a protruding section, which protrudes from the bottle section, and is insertable into the liquid injection port so as to inject, into the liquid storage section, the liquid stored in the bottle section. The liquid injection port includes: a protruding section insertion portion into which the protruding section of the bottle is insertable; and a protruding section fixing portion, which is engageable with the protruding section of the bottle, to thereby be capable of fixing the bottle to the tank.

Claim (Index 21):
A method for injecting an ink to a tank storing the ink supplied to an ink jet head from a bottle storing the ink for replenishment, in which\n the bottle comprises a protruding section, which derives the ink for replenishment to the tank, and the tank comprises an ink injection port into which the protruding section is inserted and the ink injection port fixes the bottle, wherein the ink injection port comprises:\n a protruding section insertion portion into which the protruding section of the bottle is insertable, and \n a protruding section fixing portion fixing the protruding section, \n wherein the method comprises: an inserting step of inserting the protruding section of the bottle into the protruding section insertion portion, a fixing step of fixing the bottle with the protruding section fixing portion by moving the protruding section from the protruding section insertion portion to the protruding section fixing portion in a direction orthogonal to a direction of inserting the protruding section, and an injecting step of injecting the ink from the bottle to the tank under the condition which the bottle is fixed with the protruding section fixing portion.
