Abstract
A recording apparatus includes a housing; a head; a tube which guides ink which is stored in an ink storage portion disposed on an outside of the housing to the head, and includes a deforming movable portion which deforms to track movement of the head, and a fixed portion which does not deform to track the movement of the head; a bearing portion which bears the deforming movable portion; and a partitioning portion which partitions the deforming movable portion from the fixed portion.
Claims18
A recording apparatus, comprising:
- a housing;
- a liquid ejecting head which is supported by a carriage provided to be capable of moving reciprocally within the housing and which performs recording by ejecting a liquid onto a recording medium;
- a liquid supply tube which guides the liquid which is stored in a liquid storage portion disposed on an outside of the housing to the liquid ejecting head, the liquid ejecting head side of which deforms to track the reciprocal movement of the liquid ejecting head, and the liquid storage portion side of which is folded back from the liquid ejecting head side and is not subjected to tracking deformation;
- a bearing portion which bears a portion of the liquid supply tube which is subjected to tracking deformation;
- and
- a partitioning portion which is provided in a region in which the portion of the liquid supply tube which is subjected to tracking deformation and a portion of the liquid supply tube which is not subjected to tracking deformation are disposed running along each other, and partitions the portion of the liquid supply tube which is subjected to tracking deformation from the portion of the liquid supply tube which is not subjected to tracking deformation.
