LIQUID SUPPLY APPARATUS

A liquid supply apparatus is provided having: a tank with a hole; a reservoir chamber storing a portion of the liquid in the canister; and a flow path storing another portion of the liquid in the tank. A flow path connects the reservoir chamber and the aperture. The flow path has a first funnel to reduce a cross-sectional area of a portion of the flow path. The first funnel portion is located at a position equal to or higher than a surface of a predetermined maximum amount of liquid storable in the tank in the usable attitude. The first funnel creates a meniscus with liquid stored in the tank in an X1 rotational attitude in which the tank is rotated from the usable attitude by a first angle about a first axis. 提供一种液体供应设备，其具有：带有孔的罐；存储罐中的液体的一部分的储存器腔室；和存储罐中的液体的另一部分的流动路径。流动路径连接储存器腔室和孔。流动路径具有第一漏斗部以减小流动路径的一部分的横截面积。第一漏斗部位于等于或高于在处于可使用姿态中的罐中可存储的预定最大量的液体的表面的位置处。第一漏斗部用在处于X1旋转姿态中的罐中存储的液体创建弯月面，在X1旋转姿态中，罐从可使用姿态绕第一轴线旋转第一角度。
