An image recording apparatus comprises a plurality of drums for holding a recording medium on their perimeter faces and for being able to rotate the recording medium, and printing unit, which are arranged as opposed to the perimeter faces of the drums, for being able to make printing on the recording medium. A tension generating unit for applying a tension to the recording medium is arranged in the upstream and the downstream of the drums on the conveyance path of the recording medium. A drum in the downmost stream side of the conveyance path is used as a driving drum, and the other drums are used as driven drums.

Image recording apparatus

An image recording apparatus includes a rotational drum for retaining a recording medium on an outer circumference of the drum; a head retention member placed opposite to the outer circumference of the drum, for retaining a print head printing on the recording medium by jetting ink from a plurality of nozzles; and a support member for supporting the head retention member at a prescribed position in relation to the drum, the support member being engaged with the rotation shaft of the drum.

A head-mounted image display device consists mainly of an image producing unit ( ), right and left frames ( and ), and a controller ( ). The image producing unit has image display LCDs enclosed with covers ( and ). The right and left frames useful in wearing the head-mounted image display device HMD on the head are supported by frame supports ( and ) that are fixed to the cover ( ). Herein, the right and left frames are detachably attached to the frame supports. An earphone cord ( or ) is guided along ribs which are formed on the outer surface of the right or left frame. An earphone ( or ) is detachably attached to an earphone holder formed in the distal or rear portion of the right or left frame. Thus, there is provided a head-mounted image display device that is compact, that can be readily worn on the head, and that not only enables viewing of a display screen image but also simplifies observation of an ambient environment.
