Abstract: A head unit (51) includes a recording head (52), a frame (53), and an angle adjusting portion (8). The frame (53), to which the recording head (52) is rotatably connected, has a side wall (531) to be adjacent to the recording head (52). The angle adjusting portion (8) includes frame and head adjusting screws (81, 82) and rotates the recording head (52). The frame adjusting screw (81) is on the side wall (531), on its face opposite the recording head (52), and can reciprocate toward and away from the recording head (52). The head adjusting screw (82) is on the recording head (52), on its face opposite the side wall (531), and can reciprocate toward and away from the side wall (531). The frame and head adjusting screws (81, 82) make contact with each other at their tip end parts in the direction in which they face each other.

Abstract: A head assembly includes a base member, a recording head, a coupling member, and a pressing member. The recording head ejects ink. The coupling member couples the recording head to the base member. The pressing member is in contact with a first surface of the recording head. The coupling member includes an urging member that urges a second surface of the recording head toward the first surface of the recording head. The second surface of the recording head is a surface of the recording head on an opposite side from the first surface.

Abstract: An inkjet recording apparatus includes a head assembly, an installation base, a positioning member, and a regulation member. The head assembly includes a recording head that ejects ink. The head assembly is installed in the installation base. The positioning member is provided for the installation base and determines a position of the head assembly. The regulation member is provided for the installation base and regulates the position of the head assembly. The regulation member is configured to press the head assembly in a pressing direction. The positioning member protrudes in a direction that intersects with the pressing direction. The head assembly includes an insertion hole into which the positioning member is inserted. The insertion hole is larger in dimension in the pressing direction than the positioning member.

Abstract: A head assembly includes a base member, a recording head, a first coupling member, a second coupling member, a first rotating shaft member, and a first angle adjustment mechanism. The first coupling member couples a first end of the recording heads to the base member. The second coupling member couples a second end of the recording head to the base member. The first rotating shaft member functions as a rotating shaft of the recording head. The first angle adjustment rotates the recording head about the first rotating shaft member as a rotation center. The first rotating shaft member is provided for the first coupling member. The first angle adjustment mechanism is provided for the second coupling member.

Abstract: Provided is an authenticating apparatus that, in the case where authentication is performed repeatedly for the same operator, is capable of performing authentication without the operator having to consciously input unique information from the second time on. The weight scale measures the weight of an operator. The weight-registering unit, when an operator is authenticated as a user registered in an authentication list, registers the measured weight measured by the weight scale in the authentication list as a registered weight of the user. The user-selection-receiving unit receives a selection of a user. The weight-comparing unit authenticates an operator as a user registered in the authentication list by determining whether or not the registered weight of a user, of which a selection is received by the user-selection-receiving unit, is registered in the authentication list, and comparing the measured weight and the registered weight.

Abstract: An optical scanning device has a housing body and an upper lid. The upper lid is formed at the end part thereof with a plurality of engagement holes, the housing body is provided at the sidewall thereof with a plurality of upper lid engaging projecting parts that project outward from a housing and are engaged with the engagement holes, an input gear is held to an end part of one side or the other side of the upper lid in a predetermined direction, and the plurality of upper lid engaging projecting parts are formed such that amounts of projecting outward from the housing are increased as the plurality of upper lid engaging projecting parts are positioned at a side near the input gear in the predetermined direction.
