Embodiment Construction

[0036] (1) Overview of the embodiment

[0037] Cartridge 8 ( Figure 2B ) includes the ink bag unit 20 and the chassis 10.

[0038] The ink bag unit 20 is formed so as to be attachable to and detachable from the chassis 10 . When the ink runs out, a new ink bag unit can be used by being mounted on the chassis 10 .

[0039] In addition, the ink bag unit 20 is constituted by attaching the adapter portion 30 to the nozzle member 28 of the ink bag 21 .

[0040] The adapter portion 30 holds storage means for storing ink-related data. The adapter portion 30 is inserted into the adapter insertion portion 12 of the chassis 10, whereby the position of the storage device in the ink cartridge 8 is definitely determined.

[0041] As described above, for the ink cartridge 8, the chassis 10 can be repeatedly used as an equipment part of the printing apparatus, and the ink bag unit 20 can be distributed as a consumable.

[0042] In addition, since the storage device is attached to the a...

Abstract

To position a storage medium simply / reliably. An ink bag unit is structured so as to be attachable to and detachable from a tray. When ink runs out, a new ink bag unit can be used by being mounted on the tray. An adapter portion holds a storage device that stores data regarding the ink. The adapter portion is inserted into an adapter insertion portion of the tray, whereby a position of the storagedevice in the ink cartridge is definitely determined. As described above, with regard to the ink cartridge, the tray can be used as a piece of equipment of a printing apparatus over and over again, and the ink bag unit can be distributed as a consumable article. Further, because the storage device is mounted to the adapter portion, connection between the printing apparatus and the storage devicecan be achieved reliably and easily when the ink cartridge is mounted to the printing apparatus.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an ink bag adapter, an ink bag equipped with the adapter, and a printing apparatus, and for example to an adapter attached to an ink bag containing ink of an inkjet type. Background of the invention [0002] There is a large inkjet type printer that ejects ink onto plastic sheet materials such as advertising banners and bulletin boards in shopping malls, and records (prints) characters and images thereon. [0003] In this type of printer, ink is supplied by mounting an attachable / detachable ink cartridge thereon. [0004] The ink cartridge is constructed by storing ink in an ink bag (reserving bag) made of a flexible sheet and accommodating the ink bag in an ink cartridge case made of a hard case made of resin. [0005] A storage medium storing information about the ink therein is attached to the ink bag, and the printer reads the information to make decisions therefrom and to prevent erroneous installation of the ink....
