<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sheet conveying device capable of suppressing occurrence of an abnormal sound of a sheet conveyed to a curved conveyance path curving in the conveying direction, which is caused by stiffening rollers regardless of the rotating direction of conveying rollers, while ensuring sheet stacking performance although being inexpensive and having a simple structure, and also to provide an image forming device including the same. <P>SOLUTION: The sheet conveying device 30 is provided with a plurality of first conveying rollers 31, ..., and a plurality of second conveying rollers 32. The device includes the stiffening rollers 34, ..., disposed coaxially with at least the conveying rollers 32, ..., of the first and second conveying rollers (31, ...), (32, ...), and having a larger diameter than that of the conveying rollers 32. The stiffening rollers 34, ..., respectively include a first stiffening roller 34a, ..., which imparts a conveying force to the sheet P and a second stiffening roller 34b, ..., whose conveying force to the sheet P is smaller than the conveying force of the first stiffening roller 34a, ..., to the sheet P. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
