1. A sheet pressing device comprising:
a plurality of pressing members that is provided on a downstream side in a discharging direction of a heating unit which carries out a heating treatment over a sheet along the discharging direction, and that presses both ends of the sheet on which the heating treatment has been carried out in a direction along a surface of the sheet and in a direction crossing the discharging direction; a plurality of convex members that is provided on the downstream side in a discharging direction of the heating unit and guides the sheet along a surface of the sheet opposite to a surface of the sheet that is in contact with the plurality of pressing members, wherein the plurality of pressing members suppresses a deformation of the sheet by pushing onto the plurality of convex members at an outlet side lower guiding member; and a support member that supports the plurality of pressing members movably in such a direction as to approach or separate from the sheet when the sheet passes through the sheet pressing device, wherein the plurality of pressing members are plate-shaped members having an upper end and a lower end, wherein the lower end forms an upward V shape having a protruding portion, and wherein a tip portion positioned on a tip side from the protruding portion is in contact with the sheet, a portion of each of the plurality of pressing members which is to be contacted with the sheet is positioned at an upstream side, in the discharging direction, of a roll at a downstream side, in the discharging direction, of the heating unit, wherein the roll is a roll closest, in the discharging direction, to the heating unit, wherein a first surface of each of the pressing members is configured as part of a discharging delivering path for the sheet, and a second surface of each of the pressing members opposite to the second surface is configured as part of a double-sided image forming delivering path for the sheet when forming an image on both sides of the sheet, and wherein the plurality of pressing members are configured to switch from the discharging delivering path for the sheet to the double-sided image forming delivering path for the sheet by rotating. |
