Abstract
A liquid supplying apparatus includes a support table on which a container for storing liquid can be placed, a liquid flow path detachably connected to the container, a movable section configured to push up the container placed on the support table. A force of the movable section pushing up the container is smaller than a weight of the container at full capacity. As the residual amount of liquid decreases, the container placed on the support table is pushed up by the movable section and displaced while remaining connected to the liquid flow path.
