International ClassB41J 003/36Foreign Application Priority Data1991-10-31 JPAbstractA recording apparatus includes a first housing having a control unit for controlling a recording mechanism for recording onto a recording medium and a feed mechanism for feeding the recording medium, a second housing connected movably to the first housing, and housing an attaching portion for attaching the recording mechanism thereto and the feed mechanism, and an operation portion. Access to the operation portion is unnecessary when the recording apparatus is not in use and, therefore, it is covered and protected with the second housing, but is opened by the rotation of the second housing when recording. The recording apparatus is placed in a thin form convenient for transportation or storage when not in use or in a form suitable for the conveyance of the recording medium when in use. When in use, the exterior of the first housing can form a part of a conveyance route of the recording medium.Field of SearchRECORD RECEIVERS AND/OR DRIVING MEANS THEREFORPlural type-set-assemblages selectively movable from a storage station to a printing station Means for collapsing typewriter or support for record-medium or copy POCKET TYPEWRITER Housing Physical handling Housing or mounting Housing or mounting Housing or mounting Housing or mounting Housing or mounting Housing or mounting Hand-held | |
