<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a paper discharge roller structure of an image forming device which can surely provide an uncurling effect using simple constitution. SOLUTION: In order to uncurl paper by means of a pair of paper discharge rollers 16, two rollers 19, 19 provided in combination along approximately the direction for conveying recording paper are pressed and abutted against one upper roller 18 from below by a plate spring 40 and rotated. The plate spring 40 comprises a roller retaining part 41 for retaining the rollers 19, 19 and a base part 42 bent downward from the roller retaining part 41 and leading thereto. The base part 42 is oriented in an approximately perpendicular direction to the recording paper conveying direction and inserted in place in a device main body 22. In addition to moving in the vertical direction (direction of arrow (a)) of the roller retaining part 41, the plate spring 40 can move in the longitudinal direction (direction of arrow (c)) along the recording paper conveying direction and the two rollers 19, 19 surely abut against the roller 18.</p> |
