摘要： An image recording apparatus comprises a roller, and a bearing fixed to the apparatus main body to rotatably support the roller through the shaft portion of the roller. The bearing is provided with at least two contact portions to be in contact with the shaft portion of the roller, and the shaft portion of the roller is biased to each of the contact portions. With the structure thus arranged, it becomes possible for this apparatus to enhance the sheet conveyance precision or to make the roller smaller at lower costs.

摘要： A recording member feeding device feeds a recording member such as a sheet in an image recording apparatus such as a copying machine. The recording member feeding device has a feeding rotary unit, a driving unit for driving the feeding rotary unit, and a driving power transmitting unit for transmitting he power of the driving unit to the feeding rotary unit. The recording member feeding device further has a rotation detecting unit for detecting the number of rotations of a rotary part in the rotary driving unit or in the driving power transmitting unit. The feeding rotary unit feeds the recording member by a length which is determined by the number of complete rotations detected by the rotation detecting units.

摘要： Precision of detecting existence/non-existence of a liquid container and a liquid level in the container is improved even if the detection is performed by a single sensor, or even if the S/N ratio of the detection is low, the detected results can be discriminated from one another. For this, a concave polyhedron is provided in the center of the bottom surface of an optical prism in order to reduce the amount of light reflected on the bottom surface of the optical prism and returned to a photoreceptor. Moreover, a reflection curved surface having a quadratic surface e.g. spherical surface or paraboloid, is provided on the bottom surface of an ink tank, for reflecting light emitted by an optical unit consisting of a light emission device and a photoreceptor. By virtue of this, even in a case where an arrangement angle or position of the optical unit is deviated to some extent, sufficient amount of light for the photoreceptor can be received, making it possible to accurately detect existence/non-existence of ink and/or existence/non-existence of an ink tank.

摘要： A recording apparatus is provided with a carriage capable of traveling with recording heads mounted thereon to record images on a recording medium. The recording apparatus contains a carriage driving system for enabling the carriage to travel at a traveling speed v in a constant speed condition and having a vibration frequency f inherent to the carriage driving system. The recording heads each has a pixel array of recording elements, each of the pixel arrays are arranged parallel to each other and adjacent arrays are arranged at an interval of an integer times v/f. Furthermore, the pixel arrays may be arranged to be at intervals of the integral times of the torque ripple of the carriage driving system.

摘要： A sheet supply apparatus has a sheet supporting unit for supporting a plurality of sheets, a sheet supply device for feeding out the sheets supported by the sheet supporting unit, and a separator which can be elastically flexed to change an inclination angle thereof when the separator is urged by a sheet fed out by the sheet supply device for separating the sheet which rides over the separator from the other sheets. The separator is disposed in an inclined condition so that a tip end of an abutment surface, against which the sheets are to be urged and over which the sheet rides, of the separator before flexed is inclined with respect to a normal plane perpendicular to a sheet feeding direction by a predetermined angle toward the sheet supporting unit.

摘要： An ink jet recording apparatus comprises a carriage for causing a recording head provided with discharge ports for discharging ink to travel by mounting the recording head on the carriage, a wiping member for wiping the discharge port surface of the recording head having the discharge ports arranged therefor, and holding means for rotatively holding the wiping member in the traveling direction of the carriage at the time of the discharge port surface being wiped by means of the wiping member. With this arrangement, ink adhering to the leading end of the wiping member is prevented from flying and spreading to stain the recording area of a recording material, thus keeping the quality of printed images thereon.
