Abstract
A medium reversing apparatus, an image forming apparatus and an image reading apparatus that respectively have the medium reversing apparatus are supplied capable of avoiding medium damage and medium load abnormality. In the medium reversing apparatus that conveys a sheet-like medium back and reverses obverse side and reverse side of the medium, a medium ejection opening is used for ejecting at least a part of the medium; an ejecting member at least ejects the part of the medium from the medium ejection opening and conveys the medium back; and a bend forming section is set at the outside edge portion of the ejecting member and bends the medium from a clamp face of the medium clamped by the ejecting member.
Claims40
A medium reversing apparatus that conveys a sheet-like medium back and reverses obverse side and reverse side of the medium, comprising:
- a medium ejection opening from which at least a part of the medium is ejected;
- and
- a medium conveyance mechanism that at least ejects the part of the medium from the medium ejection opening and conveys the medium back the medium conveyance mechanism including:
- a rotation member that conveys the medium in a first direction and in a second direction, the second direction being opposite to the first direction;
- and
- a bend forming section that bends the medium clamped by the rotation member, wherein the rotation member has a plurality of pairs of rollers, and the bend forming section projects from one of the pairs of rollers to another of the pairs of rollers.
