Abstract: A liquid ejecting apparatus includes a main body in which an opening portion exposing at least a portion of a carriage moving area, a cover section displaceable with the main body, an ink tank that is located outside the main body, an ink supply tube for supplying ink from the ink tank to a head, and a spacer that forms a gap between the main body and the cover. An accommodation section is configured by a casing portion formed to protrude in a discharge direction of paper. An operation panel section is configured by a casing portion exhibiting an inclined surface. The spacer forms a gap having a size that does not shut off at least an ink flow path of the ink supply tube and passes the ink supply tube through the formed gap.

Abstract: A recording apparatus includes a recording head capable of ejecting ink to a sheet; a sheet cassette that holds the sheet; a transport unit that transports the sheet to the recording head; a chassis which contains the recording head and the transport unit and into which the sheet cassette is inserted; an insertion port which is formed in a side surface of the chassis and through which the sheet cassette is inserted; an ink container that contains the ink; a case which is mounted on at least one side surface adjacent to the side surface in which the insertion port of the chassis is formed and accommodates the ink container; and a supply unit (connection tube) that supplies the ink from the ink container to an inside of the chassis. A guard portion with higher rigidity than the case is formed on a lower side of the case.

Abstract: A liquid ejecting apparatus includes a housing and a movement region of a carriage including a liquid ejecting head, an ink tank positioned at the outer side of the movement region of the carriage, an ink supply tubes connecting the ink tank and an adapter on the carriage, and a fixing portion fixing a portion of the ink supply tubes. In the housing, a containing unit of a sheet feeding cassette is formed to project to a discharge direction of a sheet and an operation panel unit is configured to have a housing portion having an inclined surface whose lower side further projects to the discharge direction than the upper side. The ink supply tubes have a deformable moving unit performing a movement of the carriage on a portion of a liquid ejecting head side rather than a fixing portion using a fixing tool.

Abstract: A gap adjusting device includes a moving mechanism having a first member supported by a first object so as to be movable along a first axis, and capable of moving the first object in one direction and its opposite direction along a second axis intersecting the first axis according to the movement of the first member in one direction along the first axis relative to the first object, thereby adjusting a gap between the first object and a second object.

Abstract: A transport-object transporting device includes a power-transmission blocking mechanism that blocks the transmission of power at an intermediate point of the cam driving gear train so as to maintain the discharge roller in the release position. The power-transmission blocking mechanism includes an engaged portion provided in the rocking arm, and an engaging portion whose engagement position thereof relative to the engaged portion is changeable by changing a rocking direction of the rocking arm. When the engaging portion is set at a predetermined engagement position relative to the engaged portion, the first planetary gear and the second planetary gear are both kept away from the cam driving gear.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a moving mechanism having a first member supported by a recording section so as to be movable along a first axis, and capable of moving the recording section in one direction and its opposite direction along a second axis intersecting the first axis according to the movement of the first member in one direction along the first axis relative to the recording section, thereby adjusting a gap between the recording section and a target; a first drive mechanism which moves the recording section supporting the first member along the first axis; and an abutting member which is arranged in a position capable of abutting on the first member by the movement of the recording section, and moves the first member in one direction relative to the recording section by the abutment on the first member.
