Abstract
Provided is a sheet delivery apparatus for delivering a sheet to a delivery tray, including: a pair of delivery rotary members for nipping and delivering the sheet guided by the guide portion; and a projection that rotates about an axis being the same as an axis of one of the pair of delivery rotary members, is abutted against a trailing end of the sheet, and pushes out the trailing end of the sheet toward a delivery tray side. The guide portion deforms the sheet so that the sheet does not contact the projection, and after the trailing end of the sheet has passed through the guide portion, the projection and the trailing end of the sheet are abutted against each other.
Claims8
A sheet delivery apparatus which delivers a sheet to a delivery tray, comprising:
- a guide portion which guides the sheet;
- a pair of delivery rotary members which nip and deliver the sheet guided by the guide portion;
- and
- a projection that rotates about an axis of one delivery rotary member of the pair of delivery rotary members, is abutted against a trailing end of the sheet delivered by the pair of delivery rotary members, and pushes out the trailing end of the sheet toward the delivery tray,
- wherein the guide portion is provided so that a downstream end of a transport surface of the guide portion protrudes above an entire rotary locus of the projection, on an upstream side of a line connecting the rotation centers of the pair of delivery rotary members in a sheet delivery direction of the pair of delivery rotary members.
A sheet delivery apparatus which delivers a sheet to a delivery tray, comprising:
- a transport guide which guides the sheet;
- a first roller which delivers the sheet guided by the transport guide through rotation, wherein the first roller includes a roller portion whose outer peripheral surface contacts the sheet, and a projection portion that protrudes with respect to the outer peripheral surface of the roller portion and pushes out the sheet toward the delivery tray through abutment against a trailing end of the delivered sheet;
- a second roller which nips the sheet with the roller portion of the first roller and delivers the sheet through rotation;
- and
- a guide portion that is provided for the transport guide and rises from a first roller side toward a second roller side,
- wherein the guide portion is provided so that a downstream end of a transport surface of the guide portion protrudes above an entire rotary locus of the projection, on an upstream side of a line connecting a rotation center of the first roller and a rotation center of the second roller to each other.
