发明名称 Recording apparatus
摘要 An apparatus includes a recording head having a sealing portion arranged in proximity to nozzle arrays and protruding beyond a nozzle surface. A wiper unit configured to wipe the nozzle surface of the recording head has a first wiper blade and a second wiper blade, and the first wiper blade is arranged to be inclined by an angle θ1 (θ1>0) with respect to a direction orthogonal to the wiping direction within a plane parallel to the nozzle surface, while the second wiper blade is arranged to be inclined by an angle θ2 (θ2<0) with respect to the direction orthogonal to the wiping direction within the plane.

主权项 1. An apparatus comprising: a recording head having an area in which a plurality of nozzle arrays is arranged, and sealing portions arranged at end portions of the area and protruding from the area; and a wiper unit capable of relatively moving with respect to the area in a wiping direction parallel to the area and configured to wipe the area, wherein the wiper unit has a first wiper blade and a second wiper blade, the first wiper blade is arranged to be inclined by an angle θ1 (θ1>0) with respect to a direction orthogonal to the wiping direction within a plane parallel to the area, while the second wiper blade is provided so that wiping of the same nozzle array by the first wiper blade is followed by wiping of the same nozzle array by the second wiper blade and is arranged to be inclined by an angle θ2 (θ2<0) with respect to the direction orthogonal to the wiping direction within the plane.
