An ink jet recording apparatus includes a recording head for effecting recording by ejecting ink onto a recording material and a holder for holding the recording head while it is not used for recording. The holder includes a cap for sealing an ejection outlet of the recording head, and the cap includes ink absorbing material for maintaining wetness of the ejection outlet.

Ink jet recording apparatus with cartridge storage

An information processing apparatus apparatus comprising a first and second housings fold-up on each other, and provided with a means for protecting the recording head or carriage from shock due to the incidental falling or collision during storage or conveyance, thereby preventing rattles caused by vibration, and also preventing incorrectness of standby position or erroneous control of movement upon being reused.

Information processing apparatus

A recording apparatus includes a mounting unit for mounting a discharged sheet material, elastic guide members capable of being curved/restored in order to receive end portions of the sheet material in the direction of the width being discharged onto the mounting unit, and pressing members for providing/releasing a pressing force for the elastic guide members. The sheet material being discharged onto the mounting unit is held by curved portions of the elastic guide members when the elastic guide members are curved, and the holding of the sheet material is released when the elastic guide members return to their restored state so that the sheet material drops into the mounting unit.

Mounting device and a recording apparatus including the same

A roller comprises a rotary shaft, an outer peripheral wall member for defining an outer peripheral surface to be contacted with a sheet, and a support member for supporting the outer peripheral wall member so that the outer peripheral wall member surrounds the rotary shaft. The support member defines a space between the rotary shaft and the outer peripheral wall member and supports the outer peripheral wall member with maintaining a condition that the outer peripheral wall member is deformed to swell radially outwardly.
