Zusammenfassung: | PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a liquid jet device which can suppress damage on a tube or a tube guide while reducing a size of the device.SOLUTION: A liquid jet device includes a carriage which has a liquid jet head and reciprocates in a scanning direction of the liquid jet head, a liquid storage container which can store a liquid and is arranged in an installation place different from the carriage, a tube which supplies the liquid delivered from the liquid storage container to the carriage, and a guide part which is positioned on a lower side in a vertical direction with respect to the carriage, restricts deformation of the tube in accordance with movement of the carriage, and is extended along a moving direction of the carriage. When one of moving directions of the carriage is a first direction and the other is a second direction, the tube extends in the second direction along the guide part, is folded back in the first direction and is connected to the carriage by forming a curved part curving to a vertical upper direction. The guide part includes a first portion and a second portion lower than the first portion in the vertical direction.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 12
【課題】装置の小型化を図りながらもチューブ或いはチューブガイドのダメージを抑制できる液体噴射装置を提供する。【解決手段】液体噴射装置は液体噴射ヘッドを備え、液体噴射ヘッドの走査方向に往復動するキャリッジと、液体を収容可能であり、キャリッジとは別の設置場所に設けられる液体収容容器と、液体収容容器から送られる液体をキャリッジに供給するチューブと、キャリッジに対し鉛直方向下側に位置し、キャリッジの移動に伴うチューブの変形を規制する、キャリッジの移動方向に沿って延設されたガイド部とを備え、キャリッジの移動方向のうち一方を第1方向、他方を第2方向としたとき、チューブはガイド部に沿って第2方向に向けて延び、鉛直上方向に向かって湾曲する湾曲部を形成して第1方向に折り返してキャリッジに接続され、ガイド部は第1部位と鉛直方向において第1部位より低い第2部位とを有する。【選択図】図12 |
