PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a means which prevents an ink feeding tube following a carriage from hanging down and raging in an inkjet recorder with a carriage that reciprocates in a direction intersecting a conveying direction of a medium to be recorded. SOLUTION: The image recorder is equipped with an ink tube 41 which follows the reciprocating movement of the carriage 38 where an inkjet recording head 39 is loaded, a rotation supporting member 100 which has an arm 103 and a holding part 105, and a regulation wall 37. The arm 103 is supported rotatably to an apparatus body with the inside of a bending part of the ink tube 41 made a rotation fulcrum, and is extended in a nearly horizontal direction from the rotation fulcrum. The holding part 105 is set at the arm 103 and holds a predetermined site of the ink tube 41 slidably. The regulation wall 37 is erected along the reciprocating movement direction of the carriage 38 and has a concave notch 120 which avoids to come into contact with the holding part 105 of the rotation supporting member 100. The regulation wall 37 is brought into contact with the ink tube 41, thereby regulating the ink tube 41 not to swell in a direction to separate from the carriage 38. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
