Zusammenfassung:To provide an ink refill device capable of suppressing insufficient nozzle insertion while ensuring the convenience of automatic ink refilling.SOLUTION: Provided is an ink refill device 1 including a case 11 having a writing instrument attachment portion 12 to which a writing instrument can be attached from the outside, an ink bottle 20 removably attached to the upper portion of the case 11, a discharge nozzle 30 provided at the lower end of the ink bottle 20, and a remaining ink sensor 122 capable of detecting the remaining amount of ink in the cartridge of the writing instrument. The ink bottle 20 is attached to the case 11 while being biased by an elastic body 15 toward an upper standby position. The case 11 is provided with a lock mechanism that locks the ink bottle 20 in the ink refillable position when the ink bottle 20 is pushed down against the biasing force of the elastic body 15 to the ink refillable position, and an unlock mechanism that releases the lock when the remaining ink sensor 122 detects that the cartridge has been refilled with a predetermined amount or more of ink.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】インキの自動補充の利便性は確保しつつ、ノズルの差し込み不足を抑制可能なインキ補充装置を提供すること。【解決手段】外部から筆記具を取付可能な筆記具取付部12を備えたケース11と、ケース11の上部に着脱自在に取り付けられたインキボトル20と、インキボトル20の下端に設けられた吐出ノズル30と、前記筆記具のカートリッジ内のインキ残量を検知可能な残量センサ122とを備え、インキボトル20は弾性体15によって上方の待機位置に向けて付勢されてケース11に取り付けられており、ケース11には、インキボトル20が弾性体15の付勢力に抗してインキ補充可能位置まで押し下げられたときに同位置でロックするロック機構と、残量センサ122により前記カートリッジ内に所定量以上のインキが補充されたことを検知したときに前記ロックを解除するロック解除機構とが設けられているインキ補充装置1とする。【選択図】図2
