Abstract:
A thermal printer includes a frame, a platen roller supported on the frame so as to be rotatable about a first direction, a head support plate supported on the frame, and a thermal head fixed to the head support plate. The head nips paper between the roller in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. The frame includes a swing support portion supporting the plate so that the plate is swingable about the first direction and a third direction orthogonal to the first direction and the second direction. The head is fixed to a portion of the plate located on a first side in the third direction with respect to the swing support portion. Between a portion of the plate located on a second side and the frame, an urging member configured to urge the plate in a direction of causing the head to approach the roller is interposed.

Claim (Index 1):
A thermal printer, comprising:\n a frame; a platen roller, which is supported on the frame so as to be rotatable about a first direction, and includes a transmission portion configured to receive power transmitted from a drive source at an end portion on a first side in the first direction; a head support plate, which is supported on the frame; and a thermal head, which is fixed to the head support plate, and is configured to nip recording paper between the thermal head and the platen roller in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction to perform printing on the recording paper, wherein the frame includes a swing support portion configured to support the head support plate so that the head support plate is swingable about the first direction and a third direction orthogonal to the first direction and the second direction, wherein the thermal head is fixed to a portion of the head support plate located on a first side in the third direction with respect to the swing support portion, and wherein an urging member configured to urge the head support plate in a direction of causing the thermal head to approach the platen roller is interposed between a portion of the head support plate located on a second side in the third direction with respect to the swing support portion, and the frame.
