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
