1. A recording material transporting apparatus comprising:
a transport member that transports a recording material in a transport direction; a linkage portion that moves in an intersection direction in connection with movement of the transport member in the direction intersecting the transport direction; a rotating member that rotates about a rotating shaft disposed along the intersection direction, that includes a helical cam on a circumference of the rotating shaft, and that presses the linkage portion via the cam to move the linkage portion and the transport member in the intersection direction, wherein a surface at a circumference of the helical cam is provided with a first cam surface having a helical shape, and a second cam surface that is not helical-shaped and is formed along the circumference of the helical cam and along a plane orthogonal to the rotating shaft, the second cam surface being configured to make contact with a sheet guide member, and wherein a common driving source supplies a driving force that the transport member uses to transport the recording material, and a driving force for rotating the rotating member; a coaxial member having a flapper contact portion that is disposed coaxially with the rotating member and rotates the rotating member; a solenoid having a flapper and regulating the rotation of the coaxial member, the flapper contact portion having contact with the flapper; and a spring imparting a rotating force to the coaxial member, wherein when the spring imparts a rotating force to the coaxial member, the solenoid is turned on, and the flapper separates from the flapper contact portion, and the coaxial member rotates. |
