ABSTRACT:
An inkjet printer includes a carriage body configured to receive an ink cartridge, an openable/closable cover body pivotally attached to the carriage body, a substantially L-shaped pressing member integrally formed of a resin and arranged on an underside of the cover body, a spring disposed between the cover body and the top face pressing lever for biasing the second end portion side of the top face pressing lever away from the carriage body, and a stopper arranged to prevent the back end face pressing lever from projecting flirter than necessary when the cover body is opened. The pressing member includes a top face pressing lever, having a first end portion configured to press a top face of the ink cartridge and a second end portion, and a back end face pressing lever joined integrally with the top face pressing lever at the second end portion thereof, the back end face pressing lever having a distal end portion configured to press a back end face of the ink cartridge. The pressing member is rotatably mounted to the cover body about a pivot defined at an intermediate portion of the top face pressing lever. The first end portion of the top face pressing lever is formed to have smaller flexural rigidity as compared with the second end portion, such that an elastic force of the first end portion causes the first end portion to press the top face of the ink cartridge when the cover body is closed.
