The liquid ejection device includes a head having nozzles for ejecting a liquid, a first liquid-receiving section having a sloped face for receiving liquid ejected from the nozzles when flushing is carried out by the head, and a second liquid-receiving section for receiving and holding liquid that has dripped from the sloped face. The linkage couples to a support structure at a first end and support a weight applied to a second end. Thus, it is unnecessary to provide space in a casing for accommodating a projecting inverter in the case at a scanning ending end, thereby allowing miniaturizing the casing. In an alternate embodiment, the blade is located on the opposite side of the pocket clip.
