Abstract: An image recording apparatus includes a recording portion that records an image on a recording medium, a heating portion that heats the recording medium on which recording has been performed by the recording portion, a discharge portion that discharges the recording medium on which recording has been performed by the recording portion, a first conveying path for conveying the recording medium from the recording portion to the discharge portion via the heating portion, and a second conveying path for conveying the recording medium from the recording portion to the discharge portion without passing through the heating portion. In a first section in which the heating portion is disposed on the first conveying path, the recording medium is guided in a direction substantially perpendicular to an installation face of the image recording apparatus. The second conveying path has a second section that is parallel to the first section.

Abstract: A deposition of bubbles or foams to an inner wall of a liquid supplying member is prevented, thereby improving ejecting performance of the bubbles or foams. In the liquid supplying member which forms a flow path for supplying a liquid to a liquid discharging apparatus, the inner wall surface has a concave/convex shape in which a mountain portion and a valley portion are repeated at a predetermined spatial frequency. Assuming that an opening diameter of a filter provided for the liquid discharging apparatus is equal to R (?m), one period f (?m)of the spatial frequency lies within a range from R or more to ?{square root over (2)}·R or less and a maximum height Ry (?m) of the mountain portion is equal to ?{square root over (2)}·R/2 or more.

Abstract: In an accumulator which is provided in a pipe of an equipment so as to temporarily accumulate a pressure within a piping flow passage or absorb a pulsation of a fluid pressure generated within the pipe by a pump or the like, in order to improve a durability against repeated bending and stretching motions of a bladder (3) under a low temperature environment not more than 0° C., and effectively prevent a cushion gas in a gas chamber from being reduced, the bladder (3) has a laminated structure, for example, constituted of a center elastic layer (321), a gas shielding layer (322) in an outer side thereof and an outer elastic layer (323) in a further outer side thereof, the center elastic layer (321), the gas shielding layer (322) and the outer elastic layer (323) are made of a polyamide resin, and the gas shielding layer (322) has a module of bending elasticity higher than that of the center elastic layer (321) and the outer elastic layer (323).
