Abstract
A hand-held recording apparatus for image recording on a recording medium by manual movement comprises a main body, a thermal head provided in the main body and having plural heat-generating elements for image recording on the recording medium, an ink sheet positioned feedable to a recording position by the thermal head and bearing ink which is transferred onto the recording medium in response to the heat generation of the thermal head, a first elastic member for biasing the thermal head to the recording medium, and a second elastic member for biasing the main body having the thermal head therein to the recording medium. The elastic force of the second elastic member is selected larger than that of the first elastic member.
