To provide a liquid jet device which achieves simplification and downsizing of a recording device while performing capping operation properly.SOLUTION: A liquid jet device includes: a liquid jet head 2 that jets a liquid in a jetting direction along a first axis; a medium supporting member 6 having a supporting surface 61 for supporting a medium S, and opening portions facing nozzles; caps 40 that are disposed in the opening portions when viewed in the jetting direction; a coupling member 50 that couples the medium supporting member 6 to the caps 40 and has a base member 51 and a first coupling member which couples the base member 51 to the medium supporting member 6 and is configured to extend/contract in a direction along the first axis; and a moving mechanism 80 that causes relative movement of the coupling member 50 with respect to the liquid jet head 2 along the first axis.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 【課題】キャッピング動作を適切に行いつつ、記録装置の簡素化及び小型化を図る。【解決手段】第１軸に沿う噴射方向に液体を噴射する液体噴射ヘッド２と、媒体Ｓを支持する支持面６１と、ノズルに対向する開口部と、を有する媒体支持部材６と、噴射方向に見て開口部内に配置されるキャップ４０と、媒体支持部材６とキャップ４０とを連結する連結部材５０であって、ベース部材５１と、ベース部材５１と媒体支持部材６とを接続して第１軸に沿う方向に伸縮可能な第１接続部材とを有する連結部材５０と、連結部材５０を液体噴射ヘッド２に対して第１軸に沿って相対移動させる移動機構８０と、を備える構成とする。【選択図】図３
