Sheet feeding apparatus using pairs of spur rollers

A recording apparatus comprising:

• a first feeding means for feeding a sheet;
• a recording means for performing recording on the sheet fed by said first feeding means;
• a first rotary member disposed downstream of said recording means and being provided with teeth at a peripheral surface thereof, said teeth having tips for contacting a recorded surface of the sheet to guide the sheet;
• and
• a cleaning means for contacting the teeth of said first rotary member, said cleaning means being held in contact with said first rotary member using a weight of said cleaning means.

A recording apparatus comprising:

• a recording means for performing recording on a sheet by discharging ink onto the sheet;
• a first rotary member disposed downstream of said recording means and contacting an unrecorded surface of the sheet on which the recording is performed by said recording means, and adapted to apply a feeding force to the sheet;
• a second rotary member being provided with teeth at a peripheral surface thereof, said teeth having tips for contacting a recorded surface of the sheet, said second rotary member being rotated by the feeding force of said first rotary member and cooperating with said first rotary member to feed the sheet;
• and
• a third rotary member being provided with another set of teeth at another peripheral surface thereof for contacting a recorded surface of the sheet with tips of the another set of teeth, said third rotary member being provided between said recording means and said second rotary member.

A recording system comprising:

• a feeding means for feeding a sheet;
• a recording means for performing recording on the sheet fed by said feeding means by discharging ink onto the sheet;
• a rotary member disposed downstream of said recording means and being provided with teeth at a peripheral surface thereof, said rotary member contacting a recorded surface of the sheet with tips of said teeth to guide the sheet;
• and
• a cleaning means for cleaning the teeth of said rotary member, said cleaning means being held in contact with said rotary member by using a weight of said cleaning means.
