    摘要: A sheet conveyance device includes a registration roller pair including a first roller and a second roller, configured to form a nip by the first roller and the second roller, and configured to correct a skew of a sheet conveyed thereto by allowing the sheet to abut the nip. The first roller includes an outer peripheral surface with a groove portion, the groove portion being formed in a region in which a corner portion of a sheet abuts the outer peripheral surface, and causing a part of the outer peripheral surface to be concave and another part of the outer peripheral surface to be convex in an axial direction.

    摘要: A sheet conveying apparatus includes first and second roller members fixed to a rotatable shaft, a first follower roller that cooperates with the first roller member to form a conveying nip, and a second follower roller that cooperates with the second roller member to form a conveying nip. The first and second roller members have outer periphery cut-away parts and the first and second follower rollers are moveably supported and can be biased to home positions. If the first roller member cut-away part faces the first follower roller, the first follower roller is biased to move toward a home position while the nip of the second roller member nips and conveys a sheet. If the second roller member cut-away part faces the second follower roller, the second follower roller is biased to move toward a home position while the nip of the first roller member nips and conveys a sheet.
