Abstract:
A sheet conveyance apparatus conveying a sheet includes a conveyance roller and first and second rotary members. A first virtual line and a second virtual line cross each other when viewed in the rotation axis direction of the conveyance roller, with the first virtual line passing through the rotation center of a first longitudinal end of the first rotary member and a rotation center of a second longitudinal end of the first rotary member when viewed in the rotation axis direction of the conveyance roller. A second virtual line passes through the rotation center of a third longitudinal end of the second rotary member and the rotation center of a fourth longitudinal end of the second rotary member when viewed in the rotation axis direction of the conveyance roller.

Claim (Index 17):
A sheet conveyance apparatus conveying a sheet, the sheet conveyance apparatus comprising:\n a conveyance roller; a first rotary member configured to be rotated by a rotation of the conveyance roller, and form a first nip portion, together with the conveyance roller, in which the sheet is conveyed in a first conveyance direction, a rotation axis of the first rotary member being inclined with respect to a rotation axis of the conveyance roller such that when viewed in a rotation axis direction of the conveyance roller, a rotation center of a first longitudinal end of the first rotary member is arranged in the first conveyance direction at a position different from a position at which a rotation center of a second longitudinal end of the first rotary member is arranged; and a second rotary member configured to be rotated by a rotation of the conveyance roller, and form a second nip portion, together with the conveyance roller, in which the sheet is conveyed in a second conveyance direction, the second rotary member being provided downstream of the first rotary member in a rotation direction of the conveyance roller, a rotation axis of the second rotary member being inclined with respect to the rotation axis of the conveyance roller such that when viewed in the rotation axis direction of the conveyance roller, a rotation center of a third longitudinal end of the second rotary member is arranged, in the second conveyance direction, at a position different from a position at which a rotation center of a fourth longitudinal end of the second rotary member is arranged, wherein one sheet is conveyed simultaneously by both the first nip portion and the second nip portion, and a first virtual line and a second virtual line cross each other when viewed in the rotation axis direction of the conveyance roller, the first virtual line passing through the rotation center of the first longitudinal end of the first rotary member and the rotation center of the second longitudinal end of the first rotary member when viewed in the rotation axis direction of the conveyance roller, and the second virtual line passing through the rotation center of the third longitudinal end of the second rotary member and the rotation center of the fourth longitudinal end of the second rotary member when viewed in the rotation axis direction of the conveyance roller.
