Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize the simple and sure refilling of ink without polluting environment at the refilling of the ink by a method wherein a projecting part is formed at one end on the base end part side of the outer peripheral surface of a mounting outer annular part and, at the same time, outside a fittingly inserting annular part, a protrusively provided wall, in which a notched part for fittingly entering the projecting part at the sealing during the pouring of ink, is formed. SOLUTION: The refilling of ink from an ink refilling container 1 is made possible by releasing a flow path through the pulling of a main body part 11 upwards under the condition that a pair of handle parts 105 is pushed downwards and the nozzle 104 of the ink refilling container 1 is inserted in a container mounting part. After that, a nozzle member 10 is turned to a main body part 11, resulting in staggering the position of a projecting part 103 and that of a notched part 114 to each other. Thus, the top surface of the projecting part 103 and the under surface of a protrusively provided wall 113 abut against each other, resulting in controlling the downward sliding of the main body part 11. Next, after ink is being refilled by expanding and contracting a pouring mechanism 115, the position of the projecting part 103 and that of the notched part 114 are brought into line with each other by turning the nozzle member 10. By pushing further the main body part 11 downwards, a flow path is sealed and finally the ink refilling container 1 is dismounted.
