Abstract: A recording apparatus includes a housing; a recording head that is provided inside the housing and records an image on paper by ejecting ink on the paper; a case that is attached to the housing in such a manner that the case can be separated from a side wall of the housing; and a first supply tube that supplies ink in a liquid container body contained in the case to the recording head. A through hole is provided in the side wall of the housing so as to allow the first supply tube to pass therethrough, and a through hole is provided in the case so as to allow the first supply tube to pass therethrough. The through hole in the case expands to be larger than the through hole in the side wall.

Abstract: When a cover is assembled to a case, an access opening of the case is opened by an opening operation of the cover. A part which is close to a first end of a link is connected to the cover. A part which is close to a second end of the link is connected to a connecting portion of a decorative sheet. A second fastening portion of the decorative sheet is fastened with respect to a first fastening portion of the case (side wall forming member) by a fastening member which is inserted into the case from the access opening. At this time, even when an opening operation of the cover is restricted by the link and the access opening becomes narrower, it is possible to easily perform the fastening operation. For this reason, it is easy to perform an assembling operation of the cover with respect to the case.

Abstract translation: 当盖子组装到壳体上时，通过盖子的打开操作打开壳体的进入开口。 靠近链接的第一端的部分连接到盖。 靠近连杆的第二端的部分连接到装饰片的连接部分。 装饰片的第二紧固部分通过从入口开口插入到壳体中的紧固构件相对于壳体（侧壁形成构件）的第一紧固部分紧固。 此时，即使当通过连杆限制盖的打开操作并且进入开口变窄时，也可以容易地执行紧固操作。 因此，相对于壳体，可以容易地进行盖的组装操作。
