There is provided a feeding guide unit that slides according to a width size of the feeding material in a receiving unit that receives a plurality of feeding materials, and a separation unit having an inclined surface structure that abuts on a tip of the fed feed material so that a separating load is exerted, and separates the following feed material to feed only the feed material at the uppermost position. The separating load of the separation unit is changed to at least two stages in conjunction with a movement in a width direction of the feeding guide unit.

Feeding device and recording device

An ink jet recording apparatus includes a recording head which discharges ultraviolet curing inks toward a recording sheet while reciprocally moving in a reciprocal movement direction M crossing a transportation direction S of the recording sheet; and an ultraviolet irradiation head which irradiates ultraviolet rays toward the ultraviolet curing inks discharged from the recording head and attached to the recorded medium. The recording head includes a going recording head and a returning recording head which are disposed at the front and the back of the reciprocal movement direction M with respect to a region in which the ultraviolet irradiation head irradiates the ultraviolet rays to the recording sheet.

Recording apparatus and liquid ejecting apparatus

A liquid feeding device includes: a flexible tube to be arranged so as to be curved at the midsection thereof for feeding liquid to a liquid ejecting head for ejecting the liquid toward a target; a resilient longitudinally extending member to be arranged so as to extend along the tube; and a binding member for binding the longitudinally extending member with the tube at a distance from each other. The binding member is fixed to the tube and slidably supports the longitudinally extending member.

Liquid feeding device and liquid ejecting apparatus

A carriage, on which a recording head is mounted, and to which a moving unit is connected, reciprocates a recording area by the moving unit to perform recording by the recording head. In the carriage, a recording head mount part and a connection part to the moving unit are separately provided, and the mount part and the connection part are coupled by a coupling structure having a linear elastic member. Hereby, vibration from the moving unit is shielded in the division portion and is not transmitted to the recording head mount part. Therefore, recording accuracy of the recording head can be kept in a high state.
