PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sheet conveying mechanism capable of reducing variations of contact pressure in a pair of conveying rollers of left and right in an axial direction and making size in an approaching and separating direction small to the utmost, and an image forming apparatus including the same.SOLUTION: In a guide frame 2b which configures an outer conveying surface of a first sheet conveying path 7, a pair of first levers 63 is supported so as to be oscillated around a first oscillation shaft 63a. A rotary shaft 61a of a second roller 61 is rotatably supported in a bearing hole 63b formed in an approximately center portion of the first lever 63. In addition, in the guide frame 2b, a pair of second levers 65 is supported so as to be oscillated around a second oscillation shaft 65a. Both ends of a tension spring 67 are connected with each tip of a second arm portion of the second levers 65 respectively. |
