Abstract: An inkjet type fabric printing apparatus is provided with an inkjet head, a platen and a positioning member. The inkjet head reciprocally moves in main scanning direction and auxiliary scanning direction relative to a fabric (e.g., clothes). The platen holds the fabric to extend on a plane parallel with the main scanning direction and the auxiliary scanning direction with a first predetermined distance spaced from the inkjet head. On the positioning member, the fabric is set. The fabric is positioned on the platen in place in a direction parallel with the main scanning direction and the auxiliary scanning direction. The positioning member supports at least one of a neck portion and a shoulder portion of the fabric such that the neck portion and/or a shoulder portion is spaced from the inkjet head by a second predetermined distance.

Abstract: An inkjet recording device, capable of reliably detecting obstacles such as wrinkles or foreign particles on a recording medium, is provided with a clearance sensor mechanism for detecting foreign particles and wrinkles on the recording medium. In such an inkjet recording device, printing is performed by scanning with the inkjet head while a platen on which the recording medium is mounted is fed. When a plate-like member provided between the default position in which the platen is on standby and the printing performing position to be scanned by the inkjet head contacts foreign particles or wrinkles of the recording medium mounted on the platen, the concealing member, together with the plate-like member, rotates about the axis line direction of an axis member. When a sensor detects the rotation of the concealing member, the platen is fed in the reverse direction. Further, when the inkjet head starts printing, a solenoid presses a receiving member and rotates the plate-like member.

Abstract: The present invention provides an inkjet recording device capable of reducing the pressure fluctuation such as the bending or twisting of the ink supplying tube caused by the movement of the carriage. The ink stored in the ink cartridge housing unit is supplied to the inkjet head via the ink supplying tubes. In the course of the ink supplying tubes from the ink cartridge housing unit to the inkjet head, a guide member supports the ink supplying tubes. In the guide member, retaining members for respectively retaining the ink supplying tubes are housed rotatably in the housing units formed with an upper member and a lower member. Further, the guide member is rotatably installed in the case of the inkjet printer by a bolt.

Abstract: A fabric printing device contains a supporting section on which a fabric can be installed and removed, having a supporting face for supporting an installed fabric from below; and an ink emitting section for emitting ink onto the fabric on said supporting face. The supporting section has a section in which the coefficient of static friction acting on the fabric in the central region of said supporting face is greater than the coefficient of static friction acting on the fabric in regions in the vicinity of the respective end sections of said supporting face in at least one direction thereof.
