Patent attributes
There is disclosed an ink tank in which an ink holding member is inhibited from being excessively deformed, and which steadily supplies an ink. A foaming direction of urethane of a first ink holding member is disposed substantially vertically (arrow B) to an abutment direction of an ink jet head onto an ink receiving tube so that the member is easily deformed with respect to a press force of a pressing direction (arrow A) substantially parallel to the abutment direction onto the ink receiving tube 34B, and the foaming direction of urethane of a second ink holding member is disposed in a direction substantially parallel to (arrow C) the abutment direction onto the ink receiving tube so that the member is not easily deformed with respect to the press force of the pressing direction substantially parallel to the abutment direction onto the ink receiving tube.
