Abstract: An inkjet recording apparatus includes recording heads and a head base. The recording heads include a first recording head, a second recording head, a third recording head, and a fourth recording head. The first to fourth recording heads each include three segment recording heads. The segment recording heads eject ink on to paper. The head base supports the 12 segment recording heads. One segment recording head among the 12 segment recording heads is selected as a reference head. The segment recording heads other than the reference head among the 12 segment recording heads are arranged such that longitudinal directions of the segment recording heads other than the reference head are parallel to a longitudinal direction of the reference head. The head base is arranged such that the longitudinal direction of the reference head is orthogonal to a conveyance direction of the paper.

Abstract: An inkjet recording apparatus includes a first storage part, a second storage part, an ejection part, a first supply path, a regulation part, and a second supply path.

Abstract: An adjustment mechanism (130) adjusts a position of a target object (110) attached to an attachment base (120). The adjustment mechanism (130) includes a first cam (131) and a second cam (132). The first cam (131) is attached to a shaft portion (123) on the attachment base (120). The second cam (132) houses the first cam (131) and supports the target object (110). The first cam (131) displaces the target object (110) via the second cam (132) by rotating about the shaft section (123) as a rotational axis. The second cam (132) displaces the target object (110) by rotating about the first cam (131) as a rotational axis. An amount of displacement of the target object (110) resulting from rotation of the first cam (131) differs from an amount of displacement of the target object (110) resulting from rotation of the second cam (132).

Abstract: A flow path opening/closing device includes a tube through which a recording liquid flows, a tube support member on which the tube is mounted, an opening/closing member configured to rotate between a closing position and an opening position, and an elastic support member. In the closing position, the opening/closing member crushes the tube mounted on the tube support member, thereby cutting off a flow path defined within the tube. In the opening position, the opening/closing member allows the cutoff of the flow path to be cancelled by a restoring force of the tube. The elastic support member elastically supports the tube support member so as to move the tube support member toward and away from the opening/closing member.
