A printing apparatus includes a head that faces a medium supported by a medium support unit and ejects a liquid, an interference object sensor including a detector that detects an interference object with the head, and a cover that can switch the detector to a shielded state and to an exposed state.

Printing apparatus

A printing deviceincludes a head unitconfigured to eject liquid onto a medium; a first movement sectionconfigured to move the head unitin a width direction X; a guide frameconfigured to guide movement of the head unitin a width direction X; and a second movement sectionconfigured to move the first movement sectionin a forward and rearward direction Y intersecting the width direction X, wherein the guide frameincludes a first bent sectionformed by bending a metal plate along the width direction X and a second bent sectionformed by bending the metal plate along the width direction X, and guides the head unitby a first guide section, which is between the first bent sectionand the second bent section

Printing device

An ink jet recording apparatus including an ink jet head for ejecting and attaching a radiation-curable ink jet composition to a recording medium, an inert gas supply portion for supplying an inert gas to the recording medium to which the radiation-curable ink jet composition is attached, and an irradiation portion for applying radiation to the radiation-curable ink jet composition attached to the recording medium under supply of an inert gas, wherein the inert gas supply portion slantingly ejects the inert gas toward just under the irradiation portion.

Ink jet recording apparatus having an inert gas supply portion

A holding portion is held by a main body portion. The holding portion includes at least one recording head, a carriage, a cover portion, and a blowing unit. The recording head is capable of discharging ink. The carriage has a bottom wall portion to which at least one recording head is attached, and accommodates the at least one recording head. A cover portion has a facing surface facing the bottom wall portion. The blowing unit blows an air toward the facing surface so that the air reaches the recording head.

Holding unit and liquid discharge device

A printer includes a gap adjustment unit that displaces a carriage in a Z-axis direction in which a gap changes. The gap adjustment unit has a sliding member that moves in a width direction integrally with the carriage, and a cam member that is interposed between the carriage and the sliding member and has a stepped portion in which a maintenance surface that maintains a position of the carriage in the Z-axis direction and an adjustment surface that changes the position of the carriage in the Z-axis direction are alternately arranged in the width direction. The gap adjustment unit is configured such that the cam member slides in the width direction with respect to the carriage and the sliding member to change the gap. The gap adjustment unit includes a buffer unit that decreases a displacement speed of the carriage in the Z-axis direction when the gap is reduced.

Recording apparatus

An apparatus includes a gap adjuster that adjusts a gap in a vertical direction between a recording head and a supporting surface for supporting a medium. The gap adjuster adjusts the gap by engagement of a carriage, a slide member, and a cam member that is provided therebetween and has a stepped portion with an alternate-arrangement structure in a width direction. The gap adjuster includes a coil spring that urges the carriage with respect to the slide member in the direction that is the opposite of the transportation direction. A slide contact member is provided on an end of the coil spring.

To allow a fiber reinforced laminate to have sufficient light shielding ability and to improve adherence at the interface in the laminate and durability needed for it used for a shutter blade. A fiber reinforced laminate of the present invention includes: a substrate; a black coating; and a fiber reinforced plastic layer, characterized in that the black coating is provided between the substrate and the fiber reinforced plastic layer and contains a binder resin, black particles and a filler.
