Abstract
A colorimetry device includes a support base having a support surface for supporting a measurement target and a carriage unit configured to move in at least one of a first direction, which is a direction along the support surface, and a second direction, which is a direction along the support surface and which intersects the first direction as a moving direction, wherein the carriage unit includes an accommodation section to which a colorimeter, which is configured to measure color of the measurement target, is detachably and attachably accommodated and a first operation section that is a portion to which an external force is applied when the carriage unit is manually moved in the moving direction.
Claims15
A colorimetry device comprising:
- a support base having a support surface for supporting a measurement target;
- and
- a carriage unit configured to move in, as a moving direction, at least one of a first direction, which is a direction along the support surface, and a second direction, which is a direction along the support surface and which intersects the first direction, wherein
- the carriage unit includes
- a colorimeter holder that is open in a third direction perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction, such that the third direction is a vertical direction when the first direction and the second direction define a horizontal plane, the colorimeter holder being configured to slidably receive the colorimeter when inserted downwards in the third direction when the third direction is the vertical direction, and which is configured to slidably release the colorimeter when removed upwards in the third direction when the third direction is the vertical direction;
- and
- a first manual slider, which is a portion to which an external force is applied by a user when the carriage unit is manually moved in the moving direction.

- a support base having a support surface for supporting a measurement target;
- and
- a carriage unit configured to move in, as a moving direction, at least one of a first direction, which is a direction along the support surface, and a second direction, which is a direction along
- the support surface and which intersects the first direction, wherein the carriage unit includes a colorimeter holder that is open in a third direction perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction, such that the third direction is a vertical direction when the first direction and the second direction define a horizontal plane, the colorimeter holder being configured to slidably receive the colorimeter when inserted downwards in the third direction when the third direction is the vertical direction, and which is configured to slidably release the colorimeter when removed upwards in the third direction when the third direction is the vertical direction;
- a first manual slider, which is a portion to which an external force is applied by a user when the carriage unit is manually moved in the moving direction, wherein with the first direction as the moving direction, the carriage unit is configured to move in the first direction by power of a first motor;
- and the carriage unit further includes a first guided section guided in the first direction by a first guide section, which extends in the first direction, wherein the first manual slide is provided on the first guided section;
- and
- a first cover member that covers the first guide section and the first guided section, wherein
- at least a portion of the first manual slider overlaps with the first cover member in plan view of the first manual slider and
- a brightness of a color of the portion where the first manual slider overlaps the first cover member in plan view of the first manual slider is different from a brightness of a color of the first cover member.
