The invention relates to a tube bending machine and a clamping mechanism thereof. The tube bending machine comprises: a heading mechanism installed on a bed piece along a metal tube transportation path, two boosting mechanisms, rotary structures and two clamping mechanisms, wherein when the metal tube is bent, the heading mechanism holds the metal tube and provides an axial driving force.

An ink jet printer includes an ink container supplying ink through a tube member to a separate print head to form an image. The ink jet printer also includes a guide rail to guide the print head, a transport roller to feed the recording medium, and a cover to prevent the tube member from contacting the roller. As the print head reciprocates in a width direction of a recording medium, the tube protruding from a surface of the print head on an end side in a moving direction thereof bends or flexes when the print head moves together with a carriage. The bending of the tube in the rearward direction is restricted by a tube band contacting the transport roller and cover. The cover and guide rail form a plane vertical to a platen at front faces of the cover and the guide. When the bending or movement of the tube is blocked or restricted by the vertical plane to a tube bending direction, the tube is not raised. Therefore, a resistance is not applied to the print head during the movement of the print head. Thus, the bending or movement of the tube can be restricted without providing a special device for the ink jet printer.
