An object of the present invention is to provide a recording apparatus which enables an easy operation of attaching and detaching an ink cartridge and a stable conduction state between an electrical contact thereof and an electrical contact on the side of a carriage unit. The recording apparatus is provided with, in order to securely hold an ink cartridge (11) on a carriage unit (12), a cover (17) disposed on the carriage unit (12) so as to be openable and closable and a spring-like member (20) which causes an energizing force to act on the ink cartridge (11) so that an electrical contact (13) disposed on the ink cartridge (11) is energized and kept in press-contact in a direction opposed to an electrical contact (14) disposed on the carriage unit (12), and constructed so that, by closing the cover (17), the ink cartridge (11) is securely held on the carriage unit (12) and both the electrical contacts (13, 14) are conduction-connected. <IMAGE>
