RECORDING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240109347 titled 'RECORDING DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The recording device described in the patent application includes an elongated member and a housing section. The housing section houses the elongated member and consists of a fixed end, a moving end, and an elongated variable section. A curved portion, where the variable section is folded back, moves along with the carriage. A film member with flexibility is placed between the elongated member and the housing section, with a lower coefficient of friction between the film member and the elongated member compared to the housing section and the elongated member.

  • Elongated member and housing section design for a recording device
  • Film member with flexibility to reduce friction
  • Curved portion for movement along with the carriage

Original Abstract Submitted

the recording device includes an elongated member and a housing section . the housing section 60 houses the elongated member , and has a fixed end , a moving end, and an elongated variable section. a curved portion, which is a portion where the variable section is folded back on the way, moves following the movement of the carriage. in the height direction hd of the housing section , film member having flexibility is disposed between the elongated member and the housing section . a coefficient of friction between the film member and the elongated member is smaller than a coefficient of friction between the housing section and the elongated member
