A colorimetric apparatus has a shutter unit that can shift between a closed position and an open position. The apparatus body has: a shifting member that can shift between a projection position, at which the shifting member projects in a first direction, and a retraction position, at which the shifting member retracts in a second direction; a first pressing member that presses the shifting member in the first direction; and an operation conversion means that converts the shift operation of the shifting member with respect to the apparatus body to the shift operation of the shutter unit. In a state in which the shifting member is at the projection position, the shutter unit is at the closed position. When the shifting member shifts from the projection position to the retraction position, the shutter unit shifts from the closed position to the open position.

Colorimetric apparatus

An apparatus internal unit disposed inside a casing includes a fixed unit coupled to an opening portion forming member, a movable unit that is a unit including an incident light processing portion and is configured to be displaced with respect to the fixed unit in a first direction along an optical axis, and at least one elastic member that holds a position of the movable unit in the first direction with respect to the fixed unit by elasticity.

Color measurement apparatus

A recording apparatus includes a recording head, an apparatus main body, a document cover, and a front cover. The apparatus main body houses the recording head therein and has outer surfaces including a document placement surface being an upper surface and a front surface which is adjacent to the document placement surface and which intersects the document placement surface. The document cover is able to be opened/closed in the document placement surface being the upper surface of the apparatus main body. The front cover is able to be opened/closed in the front surface of the apparatus main body. A hand-holding recess used to open the document cover and also used to open the front cover is positioned at part of a portion of the apparatus main body where the document placement surface being the upper surface and the front surface intersect each other.

Recording apparatus

A recording apparatus includes a housing which configures at least a portion of an outside of an apparatus main body which is provided with a recorder which performs recording on a medium, a lid body which opens and closes at least a portion of a top portion of the apparatus main body and is capable of tilting, and a tilting shaft of the lid body, in which the tilting shaft is capable of being displaced in a direction intersecting an axial line direction of the tilting shaft, and in which the lid body is capable of tilting from a closed state in which a gap between the housing and an end portion of an opposite side from a free end side is filled to an opened state by the displacement of the tilting shaft.

A recording apparatus including a housing, an apparatus main body that constitutes an inside of the housing, the apparatus main body including a recording member that performs recording, a feed roller that feeds a medium, the medium being set at an inclined position, towards the recording member, an opening/closing body that opens/closes a portion above an area in which the recording member is disposed, and a damper that applies damping force to the opening/closing body when the opening/closing body is closed. The opening/closing body and the damper are attached to the apparatus main body through an attaching member disposed at an area above the feed roller.

A recording apparatus includes: a housing including a recording-mechanism unit provided with a recording device that performs recording on a recording medium, peripheral walls of the housing being formed of a panel section, side-surface sections, and a rear-surface section; and a reading-mechanism unit that reads a document and covers and uncovers the top of the housing. The reading-mechanism unit includes a main body section having a document bed on which a document is mounted and an opening/closing body that covers and uncovers the document bed and has side surfaces. At least the main body section unit is accommodated in the interior of the peripheral walls of the housing when the reading-mechanism unit is closed. Each of the side surfaces of the opening/closing body and a corresponding one of the panel section and the side-surface sections are continuous with each other to form a single plane.

A recording apparatus includes a carriage which includes a recording head that performs recording on a medium and is movable in a predetermined direction; and a power supply unit that supplies power for driving drive targets including the carriage, wherein the power supply unit is located at a position in a movement area of the carriage. The power supply unit is disposed on an apparatus front side with respect to the movement area of the carriage in an apparatus depth direction, which is a direction intersecting the movement direction of the carriage. The power supply unit is disposed on an upper side of a medium transportation path in the vertical direction.

A recording apparatus includes a recording head that performs recording on a medium, a carriage that reciprocates in a predetermined direction, and an operation panel that has a predetermined operation function. The carriage and the operation panel are adjacent to each other. The operation panel overlaps at least a portion of the carriage in a height direction of the recording apparatus.
