1. A recording apparatus comprising:
a recording section configured to jet a liquid; and a transport mechanism configured to transport a recording medium on which an image is recorded by the liquid jetted from the recording section, wherein the transport mechanism includes: a guide surface extending linearly and configured to guide one of two lateral ends of the recording medium transported; a driving roller configured to contact with one surface of the recording medium on a side with no image recorded and to transport the recording medium; and a driven spur having at least one spur configured to contact with the other surface of the recording medium on the side with the image recorded so as to nip the recording medium in cooperation with the driving roller, and to rotate along with the transport of the recording medium by the rotation of the driving roller, an angle formed by a portion of the guide surface, which is disposed on a downstream side in a transport direction for transporting the recording medium from a point of intersection between an axis of a rotational shaft of the driven spur and the guide surface, and the axis of the rotational shaft of the driven spur is an acute angle, the spur has a plurality of teeth arranged to align in a circumferential direction about the axis of the rotational shaft of the driven spur and each projecting in a direction orthogonal to the axis of the rotational shaft of the driven spur as viewed from an axis direction along the axis of the rotational shaft of the driven spur, each of the teeth has two first lateral surfaces inclined to get closer to a virtual line orthogonal to the axis from a base to a tip of the tooth as viewed from the axis direction, and an apical surface formed at a position closer to the axis than a line of intersection between two virtual planes extending along the two first lateral surfaces, and at least one first lateral surface among the two first lateral surfaces has a first recess denting toward the rotational shaft and connected to the apical surface, the at least one first lateral surface being disposed on an upstream side with respect to a rotational direction in which the driven spur is rotated along with the transport of the recording medium. |
