Image forming apparatus having structure for flexibly supporting feeding roller |
摘要 |
A feeding roller is rotatable about an imaginary rotational axis extending in an axial direction and is configured to be rotatingly driven in a rotational direction for feeding a recording medium to a conveying path. A supporting section rotatably supports the feeding roller at a position in confrontation with the recording medium accommodated in a recording-medium accommodating section. A driving unit is configured to generate a rotational driving force. A transmitting unit is configured to transmit the rotational driving force to a central part of the feeding roller with respect to the axial direction. A guiding section prevents the recording medium accommodated in the recording-medium accommodating section from displacing in the axial direction. The supporting section rotatably supports the feeding roller in such a manner that an angle of the imaginary rotational axis relative to a reference direction can be changed by a predetermined amount.
