<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve such a problem that the quality of an image formed by injecting ink from a liquid ejection head is degraded, because a vibration is generated due to the change of the curved shape of a liquid supply tube, to affect the movement control of a carriage. <P>SOLUTION: A liquid ejection apparatus includes: the flexible liquid supply tube which supplies the ink in a liquid tank to the liquid ejection head; the carriage on which the liquid ejection head is mounted and which is configured to be freely reciprocatable; a tube guide 111 which is extended out in a direction where the liquid supply tube is extended, has a pedestal 1112 having a screw hole at both ends in a width direction thereof, and guides the liquid supply tube; a regulation member 118 which has a pair of projecting parts 1180 and 1181 having a through-hole corresponding to the screw hole and provided to hold the pedestal 1112 in each pedestal 1112 and regulates the curved deformation of the liquid supply tube curved and deformed according to the reciprocation of the carriage; and a pair of screws 119 which fix the regulation member 118 to the pedestal 1112. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
