Abstract
An ink jet recording apparatus comprises an ink jet recording head for discharging ink onto a recording medium, with the recording head including a first surface defining at least one discharge port and a second surface surrounding the first surface, and a carriage for movably supporting and mounting the recording device. A cleaning device cleans the ink jet recording head and is formed of an elastic plate-like member having a first cleaning member for primarily cleaning the first surface and a second cleaning member for primarily cleaning the second surface. A displacing mechanism displaces the cleaning device between a cleaning position at which the cleaning device cleans the ink jet recording head and a non-cleaning position at which the cleaning device is remote from the ink jet recording head. The cleaning device is formed such that the first cleaning member contacts the ink jet recording head before the second cleaning member during relative movement between the cleaning device and the ink jet recording head in a cleaning direction.
