Original Abstract Submitted
A liquid discharge apparatus includes a container, a passage, first and second cover portions, and a valve unit. Liquid is injected into the container through an injection portion and supplied from the container through the passage to the liquid discharge head. The first cover portion pivots on a first axis as a center between an open position to allow access to the injection portion and a close position to not allow access to the injection portion. The second cover portion pivots on a second axis intersecting the first axis and as a center between an open position of the second cover portion to expose the first cover portion and a close position of the second cover portion to cover the first cover portion. The valve unit switches to an open state to open the passage when the second cover portion pivots from the open position to the close position.
