Abstract
A carriage, on which a recording head is mounted, and to which a moving unit is connected, reciprocates a recording area by the moving unit to perform recording by the recording head. In the carriage, a recording head mount part and a connection part to the moving unit are separately provided, and the mount part and the connection part are coupled by a coupling structure having a linear elastic member. Hereby, vibration from the moving unit is shielded in the division portion and is not transmitted to the recording head mount part. Therefore, recording accuracy of the recording head can be kept in a high state.
