RECORDING DEVICE

To provide a recording device which surely connects a recording head and a liquid supply part and can achieve stable discharge from the recording head.SOLUTION: A recording device includes a carriage mounted with a recording head, a liquid supply part which is connected to a liquid inflow part of the recording head and supplies a liquid, an elastic member for sealing the connection of the liquid inflow part and the liquid supply part, a first operation member which shifts the liquid inflow part and the liquid supply part to a connection state by being operated in a first direction, and shifts the liquid inflow part and the liquid supply part to a non-connection state where the parts are separated from one another by being operated in a second direction, and a lock member which enables switching between a lock state of restricting shift of the first operation member from the connection state to the non-connection state, and a release state of permitting shift of the first operation member from the connection state to the non-connection state, wherein the lock member offsets a force of rotating the first operation member in the second direction acting on the first operation member by the elastic member in the lock state, and maintains the first operation member in the connection state.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 7 【課題】記録ヘッドと液体供給部の接続を確実に行い、記録ヘッドからの安定した吐出を実現することができる記録装置を提供する。【解決手段】記録ヘッドを搭載するキャリッジと、記録ヘッドの液体流入部に連結され、液体を供給する液体供給部と、液体流入部と液体供給部の連結を密閉する弾性部材と、第１の方向に操作されることで、液体流入部と液体供給部とを連結状態に移行させ、第２の方向に操作されることで、液体流入部と液体供給部とをそれらが離間された非連結状態に移行させる第１の操作部材と、第１の操作部材が連結状態から非連結状態へ移行することを規制するロック状態と、第１の操作部材が連結状態から非連結状態へ移行することを許容する解除状態とに切り替え可能なロック部材とを備え、ロック部材は、ロック状態において、弾性部材により第１の操作部材に働く第２の方向に回転させる力を相殺して、第１の操作部材を連結状態に維持する。【選択図】図７
