Patent attributes
A recording apparatus includes a miniaturized carriage. When a recording head is mounted, a head side connecting portion to which electric power for driving the recording head and a signal are transmitted and a card edge connector of a head holding member are electrically connected to each other. The recording head is detachably attachable to the head holding member by rotation of a lever member. A pressing portion for pressing the recording head in a connector insertion direction of a connecting portion is arranged near a rotational center of the lever member. Due to the above configuration, a miniaturized carriage can be formed while the card edge connector is used, fixation and release of the recording head can be stably realized, and the miniaturization of the recording apparatus itself can be realized.
