Abstract

A recording apparatus includes a tray having a set surface on which a recording medium is set; a recording section performing recording with respect to a region of the recorded matter, which is set on the set surface; and a pulling mechanism which applies a force from the set surface of the recorded matter to a protruding portion in a first direction and capable of pulling the portion of the recording medium, which is set on the set surface.

Claims (29)

1. A recording apparatus comprising:

a tray having a set surface on which a recording medium is set;

a recording section performing recording with respect to a region of the recording medium, which is set on the set surface so as to have a protruding portion protruding from a set surface of the recording medium; and

a pulling mechanism which applies a force to the protruding portion in a first direction to pull a set surface portion of the recording medium, which is set on the set surface;

wherein the pulling mechanism

has an abutting section capable of abutting the protruding portion and a connection section on opposite sides of the abutting section, the connection section being capable of rotating in the second direction orthogonal to the first direction which is set as a rotation shaft, and

wherein the abutting section abuts the protruding portion by rotating around the rotation shaft.

2. The recording apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the connection section has a free stop function.

3. The recording apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the abutting section abuts the protruding portion by an own weight of the pulling mechanism when the pulling mechanism is inclined.

4. The recording apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the pulling mechanism has a biasing member pressing the abutting section to the protruding portion.

5. The recording apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the pulling mechanism includes a refraction section between the connection section and the abutting section along the second direction, and is capable of refracting along the second direction.

6. The recording apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the pulling mechanism has a plurality of the abutting sections.

7. The recording apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a moving mechanism which relatively moves the tray with respect to the recording section in the second direction orthogonal to the first direction.

8. A recording apparatus comprising:

a tray having a set surface on which a recording medium is set;

a recording section performing recording with respect to a region of the recording medium, which is set on the set surface so as to have a protruding portion protruding from a set surface of the recording medium; and

a pulling mechanism which applies a force to the protruding portion in a first direction to pull a set surface portion of the recording medium, which is set on the set surface;

wherein a first region in the set surface has a coefficient of friction to the recording medium, which is greater than that of region other than the first region in the set surface.

9. A recording apparatus comprising:

a tray having a set surface on which a recording medium is set;

a recording section performing recording with respect to a region of the recording medium, which is set on the set surface so as to have a protruding portion protruding from a set surface of the recording medium; and

a pulling mechanism which applies a force to the protruding portion in a first direction to pull a set surface portion of the recording medium, which is set on the set surface;

wherein the pulling mechanism is capable of applying a force to the protruding portion protruding from the set surface of the recording medium such that the set surface portion of the recording medium, which is set on the set surface, is pulled from the both sides in the first direction and the second direction orthogonal to the first direction, respectively.
