The three members configuring the joint are a substantially cylindrical center member, a substantially cylindrical surrounding member formed at the outer periphery of the center member, and an interposing member that is molded by a soft member molded so as to cover the outer periphery of the center member and the surrounding member. An annular gap section is provided between the center member and the surrounding member. The leading end of the ink supply section is fitted into the gap section. The joint is formed by two color molding. The center member and the surrounding member are molded by primary molding, and the interposing member is integrally molded onto the center member and the surrounding member by secondary molding.
