Abstract
A sheet conveying apparatus includes first and second rotator pairs, a moving member including an abutment portion against which a front end of the sheet conveyed by the first rotator pair abuts and a guide member provided at upstream, in the sheet conveying direction, of a nip portion of a second rotator pair. The guide member configured to be movable to a first position where the guide member guides the sheet toward the moving member in a projection state and to a second position away from the moving member more than the first position and turns to the second position during when the sheet is conveyed by the second rotator pair.
Claims16
A sheet conveying apparatus comprising:
- a first rotator pair conveying a sheet;
- a second rotator pair provided at downstream, in a sheet conveying direction, of the first rotator pair;
- a moving member including an abutment portion against which a front end of the sheet conveyed by the first rotator pair abuts, and being movable from a projection state in which the abutment portion projects into a sheet conveying path at upstream, in the sheet conveying direction, of a nip portion of the second rotator pair to a passage state in which the sheet is permitted to pass through the moving member as the abutment portion is pressed by the sheet conveyed by the first rotator pair;
- and
- a guide member provided at upstream in the sheet conveying direction of the nip portion of the second rotator pair and movable to a first position where the guide member guides the sheet toward the moving member in the projection state and to a second position away from the moving member more than the first position, the guide member taking the second position during when the sheet is conveyed by the second rotator pair.
