Guide plate assembly and image recording medium transporting apparatus using the assembly

Abstract

There are provided a guide plate assembly in which at least a portion of a surface of the guide plate assembly opposite to an image forming surface of an image recording medium comprises a matrix layer, a cushion layer formed on the matrix layer to absorb impact and a resin layer made of a low frictional resin that is formed on the cushion layer, as well as an image recording medium transporting device to transport the image recording medium through a specified transport pathway, which comprises the guide plate assembly and transport roller pairs to transport the image recording medium through the transport pathway. A recording medium having an image forming surface can be guided and transported without flaw, in an image recording apparatus, an image reader and a developing device performing various image reproduction processing including exposure, recording, development and reading. Consequently, high-quality images without flaw can be obtained.
