Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a head unit, a conveyance unit, a lifting and lowering mechanism, a drive source and a transmission mechanism. The head unit is provided with an inkjet head having a discharge opening through which an ink is discharged. The conveyance unit is supported in an upwardly and downwardly movable manner in directions close to and apart from the head unit from a lower side. The lifting and lowering mechanism is configured to lift and lower the conveyance unit. The drive source is configured to drive the lifting and lowering mechanism. The transmission mechanism is configured to transmit driving force from the drive source to the lifting and lowering mechanism. The transmission mechanism includes a warm gear, a warm wheel meshed with the warm gear and a resistance applying member configured to apply resistance to rotation of the warm gear.

Abstract: An ink-jet recording apparatus includes a plurality of recording heads, a wipe unit, and an entry prevention member. The wipe unit includes a wiper for wiping an ink ejection face in a predetermined direction. The entry prevention member is arranged between the recording heads in a sheet conveying direction to prevent the recording medium from entering the gaps between the recording heads. The entry prevention member is configured to be movable in an up-down direction, is arranged in an entry prevention position where its lower face is flush with, or projects below, the ink ejection face during printing operation, and is arranged in a retracted position where the lower face is retracted above the ink ejection face during wiping operation by the wipe unit.

Abstract: An inkjet recording apparatus includes a printing and conveying unit, a recording head, a raising and lowering mechanism, and a controller. The printing and conveying unit conveys a sheet with the sheet loaded on a loading surface thereof. The recording head is disposed opposite to the loading surface and ejects ink onto the sheet conveyed by the printing and conveying unit. The raising and lowering mechanism includes a wire in contact with the printing and conveying unit. The raising and lowering mechanism winds the wire to raise and lower the printing and conveying unit relative the recording head in a cross direction interesting with the loading surface. The controller controls a winding operation by which the raising and lowering mechanism winds the wire according to a degree of inclination of the wire relative to the cross direction.

Abstract: A hinge unit includes a support member, a mount member and a detachment restricting member. The support member configured to support a document pressor pressing a document to a document placing surface provided on a housing openably/closably with respect to the document placing surface. The mount member linked turnably to the support member and mounted removably to the housing. The detachment restricting member whose one end part is connected to the support member and including an engage movable member forming an engage part at another end. The detachment restricting member restricting the mount member from being detached from the housing in a case where the document pressor is closed, and allowing the mount member to detach from the housing in a case where the document pressor is opened.
