A recording medium take-up mechanism and a printer prevent a recording medium having been printed from easily twisting when winding the recording medium. A printer includes a platen supporting recording paper that is delivered frontward during printing, a take-up shaft on which the recording paper having been printed is wound, a tension bar configured to impart tension to the recording paper by pressing a portion of the recording paper that is between the platen and the take-up shaft, a support arm supporting the tension bar, and a support shaft pivotably supporting the support arm. A center of the support shaft is positioned inside a contour of the take-up shaft, as viewed in an axial direction of the support shaft.

Recording medium take-up mechanism and printer

The present invention is related to a cutting head for cutting two-dimensional information out of a recording medium. The cutting head includes a motor, a tool base for retaining a first cutter, the tool base supporting the first cutter to be freely displaceable along a first axis, wherein the first cutter is displaced toward or away from a recording medium along the first axis; a fixed base for slidably supporting displacement of the tool base along the first axis; a displacing mechanism for displacing a link member along the first axis to displace the tool base along the first axis, the displacing mechanism driven by the motor; a first elastic member for coupling the link member with the tool base; and a second elastic member for coupling the tool base with the fixed base.
