Patent ID: 8388100

Claim:
A head repairing apparatus for repairing a liquid ejecting head of a liquid ejecting apparatus which ejects liquid from a liquid ejecting nozzle provided on a head surface of the liquid ejecting head to an ejection object, comprising: one or two more repairing units which are supported by an apparatus base body so as to be displaceable in a predetermined displacement direction becoming a direction intersecting the head surface of the liquid ejecting head, wherein the repairing units have a unit base portion that is supported by the apparatus base body so as to be displaceable in the displacement direction; a seal member that is elastically supported by the unit base portion via an elastic member and has a sealing surface capable of sealing the head surface of the liquid ejecting head; and a movable member that is supported so as to be displaceable in the displacement direction with respect to the unit base portion, wherein, in the state in which a position of the movable member relative to the unit base portion in the displacement direction is in a first displacement position, a first regulation portion provided in the seal member comes into contact with the unit base portion by the elastic force of the elastic member, whereby the posture of the seal member is regulated so that the sealing surface becomes parallel to the head surface of the liquid ejecting head, and wherein, in the state in which the position of the movable member relative to the unit base portion in the displacement direction is in a second displacement position, a second regulation portion provided in the seal member comes into contact with the movable member, whereby the posture of the seal member is regulated so that the sealing surface is tilted with respect to the head surface of the liquid ejecting head.
