  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18295460 Titled 'LIQUID EJECTION APPARATUS'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a liquid ejection apparatus that includes a liquid ejection head, a storage unit, a pivot member, and a detection unit. The liquid ejection head ejects liquid, while the storage unit stores the liquid to be supplied to the liquid ejection head. The pivot member is dipped in the stored liquid and can revolve based on the amount of liquid present. The detection unit is used to measure the amount of liquid by utilizing the movement of the pivot member. The position of the detection unit varies depending on the specific gravity of the liquid stored in the storage unit.


Original Abstract Submitted

A liquid ejection apparatus is equipped with a liquid ejection head configured to eject a supplied liquid, a storage unit configured to store the liquid to be supplied to the liquid ejection head, a pivot member configured to be dipped in the stored liquid in the storage unit and be revolvable according to the amount of the liquid, and a detection unit configured to detect the amount of the liquid by use of the pivot member, wherein the arrangement position of the detection unit differs according to the specific gravity of the liquid stored in the storage unit.
