    摘要: An image forming apparatus, including: an image forming portion configured to form an image on a sheet; a pair of conveyance rotary members arranged downstream of the image forming portion in a sheet conveyance direction and configured to convey the sheet, on which the image is formed, by a conveyance nip; and a guide portion configured to guide the sheet to the conveyance nip, the guide portion including: a first guide member formed into a sheet shape and having a first stiffness and an abutment surface configured to abut the sheet; and a second guide member formed into a sheet shape and having a second stiffness higher than the first stiffness and arranged on a side opposite to the abutment surface of the first guide member, wherein a downstream edge of the first guide member is closer to the conveyance nip than a downstream edge of the second guide member.

    摘要: A curl correcting apparatus includes rollers, a motor, and a clutch portion. The rollers are curl correction-use rollers which are arranged in parallel to each other in a pressure-contact state and which are different in hardness. The motor is a motor capable of rotating in forward and reverse directions relative to a correction-amount adjusting portion that changes and adjusts a distance to the rollers as a result of an eccentric cam that integrally rotates in accordance with a rotation amount of a rotation shaft, pressing against the rollers. The clutch portion transmits a rotary driving force of the motor to the rollers during the forward rotation and to a rotation shaft during the reverse rotation.

    摘要: A sheet processing apparatus includes: a curl correcting section including a conveying member configured to convey a sheet, and a pushing shaft configured to push, toward the conveying member, the sheet conveyed by the conveying member, the curl correcting section being capable of adjusting a correction amount of a curl of the sheet by adjusting a pushing amount of the pushing shaft for pushing the conveying member; and a moving guide section configured to guide the sheet toward a pushing position of the sheet in the conveying member, the moving guide section being configured to move along with a pushing operation of the pushing shaft while maintaining a distance from the pushing shaft at a predetermined distance or smaller such that a conveyance error of the sheet is not caused when the moving guide section guides the sheet.

    摘要: A paper delivery device includes a shift frame movable in a second direction perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to a first direction along which paper is delivered to outside, a driver that moves the shift frame in the second direction, a drive roller with a first outer peripheral surface extending in the second direction and supported by the shift frame such that the drive roller is rotatable about a first shaft parallel or substantially parallel to the second direction, a first driven roller with a second outer peripheral surface extending in the second direction and contactable with the first outer peripheral surface at a first contact position, the first driven roller supported by the shift frame such that the first driven roller is rotatable about a second shaft parallel or substantially parallel to the second direction following the rotation of the drive roller, the first driven roller being rotated in a state where the paper is nipped between the first outer peripheral surface and the second outer peripheral surface thus transporting the paper in the first direction, and a second driven roller with a third outer peripheral surface extending in the second direction and contactable with the first outer peripheral surface at a second contact position downstream of the first contact position in the first direction, the second driven roller being supported by the shift frame such that the second driven roller is rotated about a third shaft disposed parallel or substantially parallel to the second direction following the rotation of the drive roller, the second driven roller being rotated in a state where the paper which is nipped between the first outer peripheral surface and the second outer peripheral surface is nipped by the first outer peripheral surface and the third outer peripheral surface thus transporting the paper in the first direction.
