A web forming apparatus includes a drum portion and a second web forming unit. The drum portion has an accommodating chamber capable of accommodating fragments, and accommodating powder supplied from a first supplying unit. The second web forming unit forms a second web by letting a mixture containing the fragments and the powder falling from the drum portion accumulate. The first supplying unit includes a storing chamber for storing the powder and an outlet portion provided below the storing chamber. The powder goes out of the storing chamber via the outlet portion. The drum portion has meshes formed in a net demarcating the accommodating chamber. The powder is able to pass through the meshes. The outlet portion is provided vertically over the net of the drum portion.

An ink absorber includes: an ink absorbing member that is capable of absorbing ink; an accommodation section that accommodates the ink absorbing member; and a detachment structure section that detaches the ink absorbing member from the accommodation section. In the ink absorber, it is preferable that the accommodation section have a bottom section and side wall sections standing up from the bottom section, that inclined surfaces inclined relative to the bottom section be formed inside the side wall sections, and that the detachment structure section be configured with the inclined surfaces.

Ink absorber, ink absorbing member accommodation container, and ink absorbing structure

An ink absorbing member accommodation container includes: an accommodation container that has an accommodation space for accommodating an ink absorbing member containing water-absorbable resin capable of absorbing ink inside the accommodation container and that includes an inlet port through which the ink flows into the accommodation space; and a flying preventing mechanism that prevents a constituent material of the ink absorbing member from flying from the inlet port to an outside of the accommodation container.
