Abstract

An ink jet head cartridge stored in a closed space. The ink jet head cartridge includes a negative pressure generating member containing chamber and a liquid supply container which has a liquid containing part forming a closed space and generating negative pressure by deforming accompanied with flowing-out of the contained liquid and a box-like body with an inside surface equal to or analogous to the outside surface of the liquid containing part and with an atmosphere communicating part and which is mounted onto a mounting part so as to form the communicating part. As stored, a first sealing member seals the ejection port and a second sealing member seals the atmosphere communicating part, part of the liquid containing part is separated from the box-like body, and the interior of the liquid containing part and the liquid supply passage from the communicating part to the recording head are filled with liquid.
