Title:
CAP DEVICE, CAPPING METHOD, AND LIQUID EJECTION SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2023/100542
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided are a cap device, a capping method, and a liquid ejection system by which attachment of a liquid to a seal member, which is used when moisturizing a nozzle surface, is suppressed. The cap device comprises: a seal member (15) that is brought into contact with a seal position of a liquid ejection head; and a seal member support mechanism (30) that movably supports the seal member and includes a pivotal member (34) that supports the seal member pivotally with respect to a pivotal shaft (40) along a first direction. When the seal member is moved in a second direction and a fourth direction in response to movement, in a third direction, of the liquid ejection head with a lower surface thereof abutting on a head abutment position (42) defined on the pivotal member, the seal member is moved, with respect to the fourth direction, by a distance at least twice a movement distance in the second direction, so as to separate the seal member from the seal position.
