Sheet conveying device and image forming apparatus including the sheet conveying device

摘要

A sheet conveying device includes a sheet conveying path, a first conveying roller pair, a second conveying roller pair and a sheet guiding member. The sheet conveying path conveys a sheet in a first direction, and then, conveys the sheet in a second direction. The first conveying roller pair conveys the sheet in the first direction. The second conveying roller pair is located at a downstream side from the first conveying roller pair to convey the sheet to the second direction from the first direction. The sheet guiding member is located between the first conveying roller pair and second conveying roller pair so as to advance and retreat to the sheet conveying path, and then, in an advance state, to come into contact with a sheet face of the sheet conveyed while being bridged across the first conveying roller pair and second conveying roller pair.

主权项

1. A sheet conveying device comprising:
a housing; a sheet conveying path arranged in the housing to convey a sheet in a first direction, and then, to convey the sheet in a second direction crossing the first direction; a first conveying roller pair conveying the sheet in the first direction; a second conveying roller pair located at a downstream side in a sheet conveying direction from the first conveying roller pair to convey the sheet to the second direction from the first direction; and a sheet guiding member located between the first conveying roller pair and second conveying roller pair and configured so as to have a rotation axis extending in a sheet width direction crossing the sheet conveying direction and to advance and retreat to the sheet conveying path by turning around the rotation axis, and then, in an advance state, to come into contact with a sheet face of the sheet conveyed while being bridged across the first conveying roller pair and second conveying roller pair; and a switching part making the sheet guiding member rotated around the rotation axis to switch the advance state and a retreat state of the sheet guiding member.
