Ink run-out detector, ink cartridge and ink jet recording apparatus Abstract
An ink cartridge is provided with an ink run-out checking section having an air-curable curing agent. When the ink contained in the ink cartridge is reduced to expose the checking section to air, the curing agent is cured. A movable pushing member pushes a deformable film of the checking section. If the curing agent is uncured, the movable pushing member stops at a position where the deformable film is deformed into the curing agent. If the curing agent is cured, the deformable film cannot deform, so the movable pushing member stops at a position just in contact with the deformable film. Based on the position of the movable pushing member, a controller judges whether the ink remains or not, as well as whether the ink cartridge is mounted or not.
