ABSTRACT:
A carriage guide mechanism for use in a scanning device wherein in order to facilitate the maintenance and repair of an image reading or recording head such as an ink jet head, carriage guide means are so arranged as to permit the head to move away from a drum. In one embodiment, a first guide means is extended through a carrier in such a manner that the latter may be rotated about the first guide means in either direction. Normally the carriage is biased so as to make direct or indirect contact with a second guide means, but it may be manually or automatically swung away so that the head may be moved away from the drum. In another embodiment, the first and second guide means are supported at their ends by supporting frame one end of which is pivoted with a vertical pivot pin to a drum supporting frame so that the carriage may be moved away from the drum.
