Patent ID: 8919771

Claim:
A sheet conveying apparatus, comprising: a sheet conveying portion which conveys a sheet; a pair of rotating members which conveys the sheet disposed at downstream side of the sheet conveying portion, and an abutment unit which rotates around a rotation axis between a first attitude of being abutted by the leading edge of the sheet conveyed and a second attitude of being in the state of abutting the surface of the sheet passing, the abutment unit having a pair of first abutting portions, disposed in a width direction perpendicular to a sheet conveying direction, which to which a leading edge of the sheet conveyed by the sheet conveying portion abuts and a pair of second abutting portions, disposed in the width direction, which to which the leading edge of the sheet conveyed by the sheet conveying portion abuts at more inner side in the width direction, wherein a leading edge of a maximum size sheet which the sheet conveying apparatus can convey abuts the pair of first butting portions and the pair of second butting portions upstream of a nip portion of the pair of rotating members and a leading edge of a minimum size sheet which the sheet conveying apparatus can convey abuts the pair of second abutting portions upstream of the nip portion of the pair of rotating member, and wherein one abutting portion among the pair of first abutting portions and the pair of the second abutting portions has a longer distance from the center of rotation to the farthest point thereof than those distance of the other one abutting portions among the pair of first abutting portions and the pair of the second abutting portions.
