Image forming apparatus

An image forming apparatus comprising:

• a transferring member configured to form a transferring nip with an image carrier and to transfer a toner image from the image carrier to a sheet at the transferring nip;
• and
• a guiding part having an upper guiding member and a lower guiding member Which are disposed oppositely to both faces of the sheet in a vertical direction along a sheet conveying path toward the transferring nip,
• wherein the lower guiding member has:
• a movable lower guiding plate made of a thin elastic material;
• and
• a plurality of elastic members disposed along a sheet width direction crossing the sheet conveying direction and supporting the movable lower guiding plate to be deformable in a direction apart from the image carrier,
• wherein the movable lower guiding plate has:
• a main body part extending toward the image carrier along the conveying direction;
• an inclined part inclined from a downstream side end in the conveying direction of the main body part in a direction apart from the image carrier;
• and
• a ridgeline part formed at which the main body part and the inclined part cross each other,
• wherein the movable lower guiding plate is supported by the elastic members such that the ridgeline part comes closest to the image carrier.
