Abstract
A sheet conveyance apparatus includes a conveyance roller pair that has a roller with a uniform diameter in a sheet width direction and that is configured to pinch and convey a sheet, and a guide unit that is provided on an upstream side of the conveyance roller pair and that is configured to regulate a position of an edge of the sheet, wherein the conveyance roller pair conveys the sheet in a state in which the sheet is bended by the guide unit so that on a roller side with a uniform diameter in a sheet width direction, the sheet convexly bends.
Claims15
A sheet conveyance apparatus comprising:
- a conveying unit configured to convey a sheet in a conveying direction by rolling at least one of a first conveying roller, having a uniform diameter in a sheet width direction which crosses to the conveying direction, and a second conveying roller provided on a facing position to the first conveying roller;
- and
- a regulating unit configured to regulate a position of an edge of the sheet in the sheet width direction by moving at least one of guide members configured to guide the sheet in the sheet width direction, the guide members being provided on an upstream side of the first conveying roller in the conveying direction,
- wherein the conveying unit conveys the sheet in a state that the sheet is convexly bent toward a side of the first conveying roller by regulating the position of the edge of the sheet in the sheet width direction by the regulating unit.
A sheet conveyance apparatus comprising:
- a conveying unit configured to convey the sheet in a conveying direction by rolling at least one of a first conveying roller, having an uniform diameter in a sheet width direction which crosses to the conveying direction, the first conveying roller being provided on a position below the sheet, and a second conveying roller provided on a facing position to the first conveying roller;
- and
- a regulating unit configured to regulate a position of an edge of the sheet in the sheet width direction by moving at least one of guide members configured to guide the sheet in the sheet width direction, the guide members being provided on an upstream side of the first conveying roller in the conveying direction,
- wherein the conveying unit conveys the sheet in a state that the guide members are moved to a position where a length between the guide members in the sheet width direction is shorter than a length of the sheet in the sheet width direction by the regulating unit.
