PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent an increase in the diameter of a curved part of a tube guide, even in a low-temperature environment etc. wherein the viscosity of ink and the rigidity of an ink supply tube are increased and wherein a connecting part of a guide element for the tube cannot be hardly moved. SOLUTION: Partially different guide elements are combined together so that the curved parts of the tube guide can be smoothly formed. The weight of some of the guide elements is increased by such a method that a weight is mounted, so that the increase of the diameter of the curved part can be suppressed. Characteristics of the element are utilized by partially combining the guide elements together, so that the behavior of the tube guide itself can be stabilized. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
