Image forming apparatus

摘要

An image forming apparatus includes a transferring member and a guiding part. The transferring member is 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. The guiding part has 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. The lower guiding member has a movable lower guiding plate and a plurality of elastic members. The movable lower guiding plate is made of a thin elastic material. The plurality of elastic members are disposed along a sheet width direction crossing the sheet conveying direction and supports the movable lower guiding plate to be displaceable in a direction apart from the image carrier.
