A linear motion device includes a guide shaft. A to-be-moved member is supported on the guide shaft, and is linearly movable along the guide shaft. A lead screw extends parallel to the guide shaft. A clamper meshes with the lead screw. The clamper moves as the lead screw rotates. An intermediate member is provided between the to-be-moved member and the clamper. An urging member operates for urging the to-be-moved member toward the clamper and enabling the intermediate member to be seated between the to-be-moved member and the clamper in a manner such that an axis of the intermediate member is nonparallel to the guide shaft.

The present invention provides a card recording apparatus capable of printing in high speed as well as reducing overall dimensions of the apparatus. After a card is transported to an information recording sectionin a lateral (short length) direction of the card, an information signal is recorded on the card thereby. Then, the card is transported to a second heating sectionAn ink image formed on an intermediate recording mediumby a first heating sectionis re-transferred to the card by the second heating sectionA warp developed on the card by the second heating sectionis corrected by a card warp correcting section

An image printing apparatus having high quality image printing capability due to minimized registration errors is provided. The image printing apparatus has a thermal head 18 and a platen roller 15 which is shorter in its circumference than the length of a pro-cut print medium 2 to be printed. An image is printed on the print medium by transporting the print medium and a ink ribbon 23 between the thermal head and the platen roller. A pair of clamp rings 3, 3 are rotatably and respectively provided approximately along both sides of the print medium, and each clamp ring has a circumference being same to or longer than the length pre-cut print medium, and has an internal gear 3b1. A clamper 5 is installed to connect the clamp rings together, and rotates with the print medium being clamped thereby. A capstan roller 7 is installed between the clamp rings and connected to a drive motor 8 to rotate constantly. A passively rotatable pinch roller 10 is installed and depressed to the capstan roller for transporting the print medium.
