1. A conveying device, comprising:
a housing formed with a conveyance path; a first roller disposed on the conveyance path; a second roller which is opposed to the first roller; a guide member whose state is changeable between a first state in which the guide member defines a part of the conveyance path and a second state in which the guide member exposes the conveyance path; a frame disposed in the housing, the frame including a first contact surface and a second contact surface which is a back side from the first contact surface; a recording device supported by the frame and contacting the first contact surface of the frame, the recording device configured to record an image on a sheet conveyed along the conveyance path, a roller holder supported in the housing by the frame, the roller holder supporting the second roller; an urging force applier configured to apply, to the second roller, an urging force in a first direction directed from the second roller toward the first roller; and an urging force adjuster configured to adjust the urging force to a first value when the guide member is in the first state and adjust the urging force to a second value when the guide member is in the second state, the second value being less than the first value; wherein the urging force adjuster contacts the second contact surface when the guide member is in the first state; and wherein the urging force adjuster is located between the frame and the urging force applier when the guide member is in the first state. |
