TRANSPORT DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

摘要

A transport device includes an abutting member that abuts a leading end of a transport object and transport members that are disposed upstream of the abutting member in a transport direction and transport the transport object to the abutting member. The transport object is a first or second transport object. One of the transport members or the transport members transport the first transport object and cause the leading end of the first transport object to abut the abutting member. When transporting the transport object to a position where the leading end of the transport object abuts the abutting member, a transport force required to transport the second transport object is larger than that required to transport the first transport object. A larger number of transport members are used to transport the second transport object than the number of the transport members used to transport the first transport object.

主权项

1. A transport device that transports a transport object having a leading end, the device comprising:
an abutting member that abuts the leading end of the transport object; and a plurality of transport members disposed upstream of the abutting member in a transport direction, the transport members transporting the transport object to the abutting member, wherein the transport object is a first transport object having a leading end or a second transport object having a leading end and surfaces, wherein one of the transport members or the transport members transport the first transport object and cause the leading end of the first transport object to abut the abutting member, wherein, when transporting the transport object from the transport members to a position where the transport object abuts the abutting member, a transport force required to transport the second transport object is larger than a transport force required to transport the first transport object, and wherein a larger number of transport members are used to transport the second transport object than the number of the transport members used to transport the first transport object.
