    Abstract: A holding apparatus includes an insertion space into which an object, namely a finger or a toe including a nail, is inserted; and a plurality of pressing members disposed in the insertion space along an insertion direction of the object into the insertion space, that hold the object inserted into the insertion space in the insertion space. In such a holding apparatus, the insertion space includes an object holding wall provided at a position capable of contacting the object inserted into the insertion space; each of the plurality of pressing members is capable of movement in a first direction pressing the object to a side of the holding wall and a second direction opposite the first direction, and is biased toward the first direction; and a biasing force biasing the a first pressing member of the plurality of pressing members disposed relatively at a back side in the insertion direction is greater than biasing forces biasing the other pressing members.

    Abstract: A drawing device, including: a drawing head which performs drawing on a drawing target; a head mover which moves the drawing head in a first direction and in a second direction which intersects with the first direction; a cap which protects the drawing head; and a processor which controls the drawing head and the head mover. Within a range where the drawing head is moved by the head mover, a drawing area where the drawing target is placed and the drawing by the drawing head is performed and a stand-by area where the cap is disposed are provided. The drawing head performs the drawing on the drawing target while the processor controls the head mover to move the drawing head in the first direction. The drawing head is protected with the cap by the processor controlling the head mover to move the drawing head to the stand-by area.

    Abstract: A waste ink case includes a container. The container houses an ink absorber that absorbs ink. The container includes an ink introducing port, an exhaust vent, and a partition wall. Through the ink introducing port, the ink is introduced from a print head into the container. Through the exhaust vent, air in the container is exhausted. The partition wall acts as an obstruction between the ink introducing port and the exhaust vent. The ink absorber is provided along a ventilation passage. The ventilation passage is from the ink introducing port to the exhaust vent, detouring around the partition wall.
