Abstract
A liquid discharge apparatus includes a liquid discharge head, a lift, and a contact member. The liquid discharge head discharges a liquid in a discharge direction. The liquid discharge head is attached onto the head attachment. The lift moves the head attachment back and forth in the discharge direction and keeps an orientation of the head attachment in a plane orthogonal to the discharge direction. The contact member is disposed on a side face of the head attachment. The contact member faces the lift and has a space with the lift in a width direction orthogonal to the discharge direction. The contact member is contactable the lift in response to an inclination of the head attachment with respect to the plane.
