Document Type and Number:

Japanese Patent JP2006069114

Kind Code:

A

Abstract:

To obtain an ink replenishing device capable of realizing the reduction of the number of components and the facilitation of maintenance, an ink replenishing structure, and an ink-jet recording device.

When a port 30 for replenishing ink is inserted to an ink supply port 32 of a sub ink tank 20, the port 30 is made to communicate with the inside of the sub ink tank 20. The inside of the port 30 for replenishing ink is separated into an exhaust path 52 for exhausting air in the sub ink tank 20 and a supply path 54 for supplying ink into the sub ink tank 20. The ink is supplied to the supply path 54 by a main ink tank. By this, the number of the components of the ink replenishing device can be reduced. The maintenance of the ink replenishing device can be facilitated.
