Abstract
A liquid ejecting device includes a first housing movable between a proximity position and a separated position and which accommodates a liquid ejecting head. The first housing includes a cover attached to the first housing and movable with respect to the head between a protection position for the head and a retreat position, and a movement mechanism which causes the cover to move in accordance with the movement of the first housing. The movement mechanism includes a hole formed in a second housing, and an intermediate member including a protrusion movable along the hole in accordance with the movement of the cover. In the separated position, the protrusion abuts on the hole with respect to both directions in which force to move the cover between the retreat position and the protection position is applied so that the movement of the protrusion is restricted by the side walls.
