Abstract
Abstract Recording apparatus comprising a record paper conveying device which rotates around a recording paper carrier body (4), gripping the leading edge of a recording paper sheet (1). The recording paper carrier body (4) is rotatable or stationary, or can include a rotatable platen roller opposed to a recording means (3) for recording an image on the recording paper sheet (1) with the recording means being pressed on the recording paper sheet. An excellent coloured picture having a little irregularity in density of recording and little slippage among colours can be obtained at a high speed.

Claim 7
Dependent Claim
139 words
A recording apparatus comprising: roller-like carrying means for carrying a recording paper sheet on the outer peripheral surface thereof, said carrying means being stationary and rigid, a platen roller disposed inside of said carrying means, said platen roller being rotatable and having an elastic surface, and a part of said elastic surface of the platen roller constituting a part of the surface of said carrying means, conveying means for conveying the recording paper sheet around said carrying means in close vicinity to said carrying means, gripping a leading edge of the recording paper sheet, and recording means for recording an image on the recording paper sheet as making in pressure contact with said part of the surface of the platen roller constituting a part of the surface of the said carrying means, said recording paper sheet being interposed therebetween.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
153 words
A recording apparatus comprising: carrying means for carrying a recording paper sheet on the outer peripheral surface thereof, said carrying means being stationary and rigid and having a smooth peripheral contour of an oval shape such as an ellipse, a platen roller disposed inside of said carrying means, said platen roller being rotatable and having an elastic surface, and a part of said elastic surface of the platen roller constituting a part of the surface of said carrying means, conveying means for conveying the recording paper sheet around said carrying means in close vicinity to said carrying means, gripping a leading edge of the recording paper sheet, and recording means for recording an image on a recording paper sheet as being in pressure contact with said part of the surface of the platen roller constituting a part of the surface of the said carrying means with said recording paper sheet being interposed therebetween.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
153 words
A recording apparatus comprising: carrying means for carrying a recording paper sheet on the outer peripheral surface thereof, said carrying means being stationary and rigid and having a smooth peripheral contour of an oval shape such as an ellipse, a platen roller disposed inside of said carrying means, said platen roller being rotatable and having an elastic surface, and a part of said elastic surface of the platen roller constituting a part of the surface of said carrying means, conveying means for conveying the recording paper sheet around said carrying means in close vicinity to said carrying means, gripping a leading edge of the recording paper sheet, and recording means for recording an image on a recording paper sheet as being in pressure contact with said part of the surface of the platen roller constituting a part of the surface of the said carrying means with said recording paper sheet being interposed therebetween.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
206 words
A recording apparatus claimed in any one of claims 1 to 5, wherein said conveying means is so arranged that a part of said conveying means abuts against a part of said recording means and raises the recording means upwards when the rotating conveying means passes over the position of said recording means, thereby releasing the pressure contact of said recording means from said carrying means or said platen roller. 7. A recording apparatus comprising: carrying means for carrying a recording paper sheet on the outer peripheral surface thereof, said carrying means being stationary and rigid and having a smooth peripheral contour of an oval shape such as an ellipse, recording means for recording an image on a recording paper sheet disposed inside of said carrying means, a part of the recording surface of said recording means constituting a part of the surface of said carrying means, conveying means for conveying the recording paper sheet around said carrying means in close vicinity to said carrying means, gripping a leading edge of the recording paper sheet, and a rotatable platen roller having an elastic surface adapted to be in pressure contact with said recording surface of the recording means with said recording paper sheet being interposed therebetween.
