Abstract

A liquid container (35) includes a main unit (202), an air release passage (203) that communicates with the main unit (202), and an air release mechanism (204) connected to the passage (203) to open and close the passage (203). The mechanism (204) includes a hollow cylindrical member (222), a valve seat (223), a valve body (262), a movable member (263), an elastic cover member (265), and a second communication channel (246). The movable member (263) has an outer circumferential surface slidable over an inner circumferential surface of the cylindrical member (222) and forms a first communication channel (241). The second channel (246) has a filter structure to remove foreign substances, is formed within the cylindrical member (222), and is connected to a space between the cylindrical member (222) and the cover member (265) to communicate the first channel (241) with outside air via the space and the second channel (246).
