The supporting member has two bent portions for supporting opposite end portions of the part and a cut and bent portion between the two bent portions.
Claims21
A recording apparatus for effecting recording on a recording material using a recording head, said apparatus comprising:
- a first part for effecting a recording operation;
- a second part for effecting a recording operation;
- a supporting member supporting said first part, said supporting member having two bent portions for supporting opposite end portions of said first part, and a cut and bent portion disposed between said two bent portions,
- wherein one end of said second part is supported by one of said bent portions, and another end of said second part is supported by said cut and bent portion.
A recording apparatus for effecting recording on a recording material using recording means, said apparatus comprising:
- a reciprocable main-scanning mechanism for scanningly moving said recording means;
- a sub-scanning mechanism for feeding the recording material in a direction crossing with the scanning direction of said recording means;
- and
- a supporting member supporting a structural part forming part of said main-scanning mechanism and said sub-scanning mechanism, said supporting member including an integral metal plate material and having a bent portion which is locked with another portion of said metal plate material,
- wherein the bent portion is provided at each of opposite ends portions of said supporting member to support opposite end portions of a guiding shaft of said main scanning mechanism, and said supporting member further includes a cut and bent portion disposed between the opposite end portions of the guiding shaft, for supporting an end portion of a feeding roller of said sub-scanning mechanism.
A recording apparatus for effecting recording on a recording material using recording means, said apparatus comprising:
- a reciprocable main-scanning mechanism for scanningly moving said recording means;
- a sub-scanning mechanism for feeding the recording material in a direction crossing with the scanning direction of said recording means;
- a supporting member supporting parts of said main-scanning mechanism and said sub-scanning mechanism, said supporting member formed of one an integral metal plate material and having two bent portions for supporting each end of said main-scanning mechanism and a cut and bent surface disposed between said bent portions, wherein a base portion of said cut and bent surface is formed by deep drawing.
A recording apparatus for effecting recording on a recording material using recording means, said apparatus comprising:
- a reciprocable main-scanning mechanism for scanningly moving said recording means;
- a sub-scanning mechanism for feeding the recording material in a direction crossing with the scanning direction of said recording means;
- and
- a supporting member supporting parts of said main-scanning mechanism and said sub-scanning mechanism, said supporting member formed of an integral metal plate material and having a bent surface supporting an end of a feeding roller of said sub-scanning mechanism, a cut and bent surface supporting another end of said feeding roller, and a bent surface for supporting a pinch roller of said sub-scanning mechanism and associated with urging of said pinch roller toward said feeding roller, and said bent surfaces are continuous.
