RECORDING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17875209 titled 'RECORDING DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a recording device that includes a recording head, a conveyance portion, a supply portion for air, and an air blowing mechanism. The air blowing mechanism blows out air from the supply portion towards a gap between the recording head and the liquid-ejected medium. The air blow-out port of the air blowing mechanism includes a plurality of slits lined up in a direction intersecting the relative moving direction between the recording head and the liquid-ejected medium. The adjacent slits have regions facing each other in a direction orthogonal to their long sides.

Original Abstract Submitted

A recording device includes a recording head, a conveyance portion that conveys a liquid-ejected medium so that the liquid-ejected medium passes through a position facing the recording head, a supply portion for air, and an air blowing mechanism that is disposed on an upstream side of the recording head in a relative moving direction between the recording head and the liquid-ejected medium, the air blowing mechanism including an air blow-out port for blowing out air from the supply portion toward a gap between the recording head and the liquid-ejected medium. The air blow-out port includes a plurality of slits that are lined up in a direction intersecting the relative moving direction, and the plurality of slits are lined up in the direction intersecting the relative moving direction so that long sides of the adjacent slits have regions facing each other in a direction orthogonal to the long sides.
