20130235126 | INK JET RECORDING APPARATUS - An ink jet recording apparatus includes a head unit, a discharge port including a region where a recording medium on which a recording is performed by the recording head is discharged and an ink tube having flexibility, that is connected to the head unit and leads the ink from an ink containing unit. The ink tube protrudes to the outside of the apparatus from discharge port side of the front surface. | 09-12-2013 |
20130293639 | RECORDING APPARATUS - To provide a recording apparatus that is capable of favorably performing the removal of a recording medium. | 11-07-2013 |

20140043384 | RECORDING APPARATUS - A printer includes a recording unit and a scanner unit configured to open and close the top portion of the recording unit. The recording unit includes a flexible ink tube through which ink from an ink tank is supplied to the head unit, and a control unit that controls the head unit, according to a state of a press-down switch provided on the top portion of the recording unit, so as to perform recording on a medium when a pressed state of the switch is detected and not to perform the recording when an unpressed state of the switch is detected. The switch enters the pressed state when a gap that allows the ink tube to pass therethrough is formed between the recording unit and the scanner unit, the gap having a size that at least prevents an ink flow path in the ink tube from being blocked. | 02-13-2014 |
20140043385 | LIQUID EJECTING APPARATUS AND LIQUID EJECTING METHOD - A printer includes an apparatus main body and an image reading unit. The apparatus main body includes an opening in which at least a part of a stroke region of a carriage is exposed. An ink supply tube extending from an ink tank is routed through between the apparatus main body and the image reading unit, and inserted through the opening to supply ink to a liquid ejecting head. Although the image reading unit is unable to be closed because the tube runs on the upper face of the apparatus main body, a sensor is activated by inserting an insertion piece into a detection recess, so that a printing operation is permitted to be performed. | 02-13-2014 |
20140043410 | RECORDING APPARATUS - A recording apparatus includes a recording unit that has a head unit provided with a recording head in a movable manner in a scanning direction of the recording head, and a scanner unit that is provided on the upper side of the recording unit and is capable of opening and closing the upper side of the recording unit; the recording unit includes a flexible ink tube that guides ink which is sent from a ink holding unit for holding the ink to the head unit, a gap formation member configured to form between the recording unit and the scanner unit a gap through which the ink tube passes and the size of which is sufficiently large so as not to block an ink flow path in the ink tube, and a medium reception tray having a relief portion that is formed on the upstream side in a medium discharge direction so as to avoid a feeding unit. | 02-13-2014 |
20140098166 | LIQUID EJECTING APPARATUS - 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. | 04-10-2014 |
20150035914 | INK JET RECORDING APPARATUS - Provided is a recording apparatus allowing for a reduction in size of an ink jet recording apparatus. | 02-05-2015 |
20150054890 | LIQUID EJECTING APPARATUS - An arrangement path of a tube arranged between an ink tank and a carriage is optimized in a case where the ink tank is arranged in an outer portion or the like of an ink jet printer main body. | 02-26-2015 |
