- the printer 1 supports a first left side wall 31L that supports the left end portion of the take-up shaft 21, a first right side wall 31R that supports the right end portion of the take-up shaft 21, and a support arm 23L. And a second left side wall 32R that supports the support arm 23R. Therefore, the support arms 23L, 23R and the take-up shaft 21 can be stabilized while the centers 33c of the support shafts 33L, 33R that support the support arms 23L, 23R so as to be able to swing and the centers 21c of the take-up shaft 21 are matched. Can be supported.
- the left support arm 23L includes an upper left first vertical arm portion 23L1 connected to the left support shaft 33L, a left horizontal arm portion 23L2 extending rightward from the left first vertical arm portion 23L1, A left second vertical arm portion 23L3 extending upward from the left horizontal arm portion 23L2.
- the right support arm 23R includes an upper right first vertical arm portion 23R1 connected to the right support shaft 33R, a right horizontal arm portion 23R2 extending leftward from the right first vertical arm portion 23R1, and A right second vertical arm portion 23R3 extending upward from the right horizontal arm portion 23R2.
- the tension bar 22 is supported by the left second vertical arm portion 23L3 and the right second vertical arm portion 23R3.
- the portion of the left support arm 23L that supports the tension bar 22 (ie, the second vertical arm portion 23L3) is supported by the portion of the left support arm 23L that is supported by the support shaft 33L (ie, the first vertical arm 23L3). It can be positioned to the right of the arm 23L1).
- the support portion of the tension bar 22 in the right support arm 23R (ie, the second vertical arm portion 23R3) is the portion of the right support arm 23R supported by the support shaft 33R (ie, the first vertical arm portion 23R1). ) To the left of.
- the second left side wall 32L that supports the support arm 23L is disposed on the left side of the first left side wall 31L
- the second right side wall 32R that supports the support arm 23R is disposed on the right side of the first right side wall 31R.
- the motor 25 that drives the winding shaft 21 is between the first right side wall 31R and the second right side wall 32R and behind the right lateral arm portion 23R2. Has been placed. Therefore, interference between the support arm 23R and the motor 25 can be avoided. Further, the space behind the horizontal arm portion 23R2 can be effectively utilized as a space for installing the motor 25, and the motor 25 can be arranged in a compact manner.
