Abstract
In the state in which a position of a movable member relative to the unit base portion is in a first displacement position, a first regulation portion provided in a seal member comes into contact with a unit base portion by the elastic force of a elastic member, whereby the posture of the seal member is regulated so that a sealing surface becomes parallel to a head surface of a liquid ejecting head, and wherein, in the state in which the position of the movable member relative to the unit base portion is in a second displacement position, a second regulation portion provided in the seal member comes into contact with the movable member, whereby the posture of the seal member is regulated so that the sealing surface is tilted with respect to the head surface.
