INK SUPPLY PIPE SUPPORTING DEVICE AND CONTINUOUS INK SUPPLY SYSTEM

摘要

An ink supply pipe supporting device comprises a bracket (3) and a swing member (4). The bracket (3) has a connecting section for connecting to a housing (6) of a printer. An upper end of the swing member (4) is pivotally connected to the bracket (3). An elastic member (7) is provided between the swing member (4) and the bracket (3). The swing member (4) can be swung to a first extreme position about a pivot joint by a restoring force of the elastic member (7). The supporting device has simple structure and lower cost; it is suitably used in a broad-width printer.
