Conveying apparatus and recording apparatus

A recording apparatus comprising:

• a feeding unit configured to feed a recording medium;
• a recording unit configured to record an image on the recording medium;
• a conveyance path including a U-shaped curved portion formed by an inner inside wall and an outer inside wall spaced apart from the inner inside wall in a horizontal direction, the conveyance path being configured to guide the recording medium fed by the feeding unit to the recording unit;
• a first driving roller provided in the conveyance path and configured to nip the recording medium together with a first driven roller;
• a motor configured to drive the first driving roller;
• a second driving roller provided on the inner inside wall of the curved portion upstream of the first driving roller with respect to a conveying direction and configured to be driven by the motor;
• and
• a second driven roller that faces the second driving roller and does not contact the second driving roller,
• wherein the second driving roller faces the outer inside wall in the horizontal direction with a gap between the second driving roller and the outer inside wall, and an end portion in the horizontal direction of an outer circumference surface of the second driving roller is closer to the outer inside wall than an end portion in the horizontal direction of the inner inside wall is to the outer inside wall, and
• wherein the second driven roller is located downstream in the conveying direction of a position of the outer inside wall facing the second driving roller.
