Claim Text:
1. A media conveying device comprising: a conveying guide that is electrically non-conductive, that forms one side surface of a conveying path at which media are conveyed along a surface direction, and that has an internal space; a frame that is electrically conductive and holds the conveying guide; driving rollers; pushing rollers provided in the internal space of the conveying guide, the pushing rollers conveying the media, by nipping the media between the pushing rollers and the driving rollers, which face the pushing rollers with the conveying path therebetween, and by rotating; a pushing roller urging portion that applies a pushing force that urges the pushing rollers toward the driving rollers; and a supporting point shaft that is electrically conductive, and whose position in a first direction, that is substantially orthogonal to a length direction of the supporting point shaft and a direction of the pushing force, is positioned by the conveying guide in vicinities of both end portions of the supporting point shaft in the length direction, the supporting point shaft supports the pushing roller urging portion in a vicinity of a central portion of the supporting point shaft in the length direction, and that abuts supporting point shaft abutment portions of the frame by receiving a reaction force that arises in a direction of separating from the conveying path in accordance with the pushing force.
