A switch assembly includes a key member pushing the switch and a cap member made of a material not compatible to the key member and covering the key member. The key member and the cap member are formed in a substantially united body, and the key member has a hole passing therethrough from a portion not covered by the cap member to another portion covered by the cap member.

Switch button and recording apparatus

A recording apparatus is capable of preventing both contamination on a recording surface due to a contact of a recording medium on an ink discharging surface even when recording on the recording medium with a concave/convex portion and an ill-discharged state of an ink. The recording apparatus has a feeding unit for feeding a recording medium and a recording head as a recording unit for recording an image on the recording medium fed by the feeding unit. A first guide member (shaft) and a second guide member that serve as a correcting mechanism are provided upstream in a feeding direction from the recording head, for correcting the concave/convex portion of the recording medium.

Feed sheet fold removing structure and method used in ink jet recording

An ink jet recording apparatus records using a recording head. The head comprises a plurality of discharge ports for discharging ink, a common liquid chamber for supplying ink to the plurality of discharge ports, and a plurality of discharge elements for causing ink to be discharged from the plurality of discharge ports. The apparatus further comprises driving elements for substantially simultaneously driving said discharge elements corresponding to a first plurality of discharge ports which are not adjacent to each other, among said plurality of discharge ports, and for driving said discharge elements corresponding to a second plurality of discharge ports which are respectively adjacent to said first plurality of discharge ports, not simultaneously with said discharge elements corresponding to said first plurality of discharge ports, but at predetermined intervals within a drive period.

Method for driving an ink jet recording head having improved discharge

A recording apparatus with a recording unit for recording an image on a recording medium in consonance with an image signal, a feeder for feeding the recording medium to the recording unit, first auxiliary feeding unit, which contact the feeder when the recording medium is cut sheet paper, but which is separated from the feeder when the recording medium is continuous sheet paper in order to form a feeding route for the continuous sheet paper, second auxiliary feeding unit, which contacts the feeder when the recording medium is cut sheet paper, but which maintains a contact position with the feeder which decreasing pressure against the feeder when the recording medium is continuous sheet paper, and third auxiliary feeding unit, which contacts the feeder when the recording medium is cut sheet paper, but which decreases pressure against the feeder when the recording medium is continuous sheet paper, and switching device for selecting the forward or the backward movement of the first and the second auxiliary feeding unit to the feeder, whereby the sliding center of the first auxiliary feeding unit with respect to the feeder.

Recording apparatus

The present invention provides a sheet conveying apparatus for conveying a sheet comprising a convey member for applying a conveying force to a sheet, a drive source for driving the convey member, and a drive transmitting means for transmitting a drive force from a first drive transmitting member attached to the drive source to a second drive transmitting member attached to the convey member through one or more speed reduction members stepwisely. Among the first drive transmitting member, second drive transmitting member and speed reduction members, manufacturing accuracy of the speed reduction member disposed at a front stage of the second drive transmitting member is greater than manufacturing accuracies of the other members.

Sheet conveying apparatus and image forming apparatus

The present invention provides an image recording apparatus with an image recording unit for recording an image on a recording medium, a first conveyor for conveying the recording medium to an image recording portion of the image recording unit while bending the recording medium along a drive convey roller by means of the drive convey roller, and a second conveyor for conveying an elongated recording medium having a plurality of pin holes to the first conveyor. A guide capable of changing a contact area between the recording medium and the drive convey roller at a curved portion of the recording medium along the drive convey roller is also provided.

Image recording apparatus having conveying means for both continuous

An ink jet recording apparatus for recording on a recording medium using an ink jet recording head that records by discharging ink from ink discharge ports thereof. The ink jet recording apparatus includes a carriage that carries the ink jet recording head and reciprocally moves the head in a manner such that the recording head is opposite the recording medium, and the carriage includes a temperature stabilization portion contactable with the ink jet recording head carried on the carriage, wherein the temperature stabilization portion radiates heat generated by the ink jet recording head.

Recording apparatus including recording head and temperature

A recording apparatus which includes a first and second discharge members located downstream from a recording head for discharging a sheet, and first and second auxiliary discharge members also located downstream from the recording head for discharging the sheet, where the first and second auxiliary discharge members are urged against the first and second discharge members, respectively, at a first position, and where the first auxiliary discharge member is substantially urged against the second discharge member at a second position.

A recording apparatus for recording information with a recording head having a plurality of recording elements while keeping a designated distance between the recording head and a recording medium has an information acquisition device for acquiring distance information between the plurality of recording elements and the recording medium, a correction device for providing a correction value for a recording timing for each recording element of the recording head in accordance with the distance information acquired by the information acquisition device, and a control device for controlling the recording head to record at a timing corrected with the correction value provided by the correction device.

Recording apparatus and method compensating for varying gap between

A paper feed for a printer includes a frame, a platen rotatably mounted on the frame, a friction roller support juxtaposed to the platen, a spring mounted on the frame and having a first operable condition biasing the friction roller support toward the platen with a first biasing force and having a second operable condition biasing the friction roller support toward the platen with a second biasing force less than the first biasing force, and a cam rotatably mounted on the frame and operable between first and second operable positions to effect disposition of the spring in said first and second operating conditions.

Paper feed device for printer
