Abstract
The present invention provides an inkjet recording device capable of reducing the pressure fluctuation such as the bending or twisting of the ink supplying tube caused by the movement of the carriage. The ink stored in the ink cartridge housing unit is supplied to the inkjet head via the ink supplying tubes. In the course of the ink supplying tubes from the ink cartridge housing unit to the inkjet head, a guide member supports the ink supplying tubes. In the guide member, retaining members for respectively retaining the ink supplying tubes are housed rotatably in the housing units formed with an upper member and a lower member. Further, the guide member is rotatably installed in the case of the inkjet printer by a bolt.
