Recording apparatus
A recording apparatus includes a recording head, a medium support portion which supports, at a support surface, a recording medium in a recording region by the recording head, and a base portion to which the medium support portion is attached in a state of being movable in a direction toward the support surface while being biased in a direction intersecting the support surface.
1. A recording apparatus comprising:
a recording head;
a medium support portion which supports, at a support surface, a recording medium in a recording region by the recording head; and
a base portion to which the medium support portion is attached in a state of being movable in a direction along the support surface while being biased in a direction intersecting the support surface,
wherein the base portion cooperates with a restriction portion which restricts movement of the medium support portion in a direction toward the recording head among directions intersecting the support surface, the base portion includes an extending portion that extends through a portion of the medium support portion,
wherein an elastic member is formed below the medium support portion, the elastic member biasing the medium support portion in the direction intersecting the support surface,
wherein the medium support portion, a friction reducing member, and the elastic member are interposed between the base portion and the restriction portion and the extending portion extends through at least a portion of the medium support portion, the friction reducing member and the elastic member.
2. The recording apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a transport mechanism which transports the recording medium,
wherein the medium support portion is attached to the base portion in a state of being movable in a direction intersecting a transport direction of the recording medium.
3. The recording apparatus according to claim 2 ,
wherein the medium support portion is biased toward the restriction portion.
4. The recording apparatus according to claim 2 ,
wherein the medium support portion contains conductive resin, and
wherein the base portion contains non-conductive resin.
5. The recording apparatus according to claim 4 ,
wherein the medium support portion is made of ABS resin which contains the conductive resin, and
wherein the base portion is made of ABS resin which contains the non-conductive resin.
6. The recording apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the medium support portion is biased toward the restriction portion.
7. The recording apparatus according to claim 6 ,
wherein the medium support portion contains conductive resin, and
wherein the base portion contains non-conductive resin.
8. The recording apparatus according to claim 7 ,
wherein the medium support portion is made of ABS resin which contains the conductive resin, and
wherein the base portion is made of ABS resin which contains the non-conductive resin.
9. The recording apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the medium support portion contains conductive resin, and
wherein the base portion contains non-conductive resin.
10. The recording apparatus according to claim 9 ,
wherein the medium support portion is made of ABS resin which contains the conductive resin, and
wherein the base portion is made of ABS resin which contains the non-conductive resin.
11. The recording apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein an end portion of the medium support portion is attached to the base portion so as to be movable, and
wherein the medium support portion is positioned by the base portion at a position separate from the end portion.
12. The recording apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the center of the medium support portion is positioned at the base portion by a positioning unit.
