ABSTRACT:
An ink jet recording apparatus comprises a wiper 15 provided with a main part 16 for wiping nozzle faces and a lower contacting part 17 which comes into contact with a lower front portion of an ink jet head, the lower contacting part 17 is provided with a groove in which the wiped ink is allowed to flow to a wiper holder 30 side. The lower contacting part 17 is formed with a torsion angle so that the lower front portion can come first into contact with an upper surface of the lower contacting part 17 at the start of wiping, and an side end of the lower front portion is designed into a rounded or a chamfered shape so as to guide the lower contacting part under the lower front portion. The angle of elevation of the lower contacting part 17 is designed to an angle whereby the bent portion is positioned higher than the other portion of the lower contacting part 17 in order to prevent the ink wiped from remaining there.
