Abstract:
A sheet conveying apparatus, including: a sheet conveying member; a guide portion configured to define a sheet conveying path; a pressing portion configured to press the sheet to curve the sheet as viewed in a sheet conveying direction in the sheet conveying path; and a moving portion movable by an edge of the sheet passing through the sheet conveying path and arranged so that at least a part of a movable range of the moving portion is overlapped with the pressing portion, wherein the moving portion includes: a first abutment portion configured to abut against the sheet passing through the sheet conveying path on one side in the width direction with respect to a conveyance center of the sheet conveying member; and a second abutment portion configured to abut against the sheet passing through the sheet conveying path on the other side with respect to the conveyance center.

Claim (Index 13):
A sheet conveying apparatus, comprising:\n a reverse roller pair rotatable in a forward direction and a reverse direction and configured to perform switchback conveyance for conveying a sheet received from a first conveyance route toward a second conveyance route; a guide portion configured to define a sheet conveying path configured to guide the sheet directed toward the reverse roller pair; a pressing portion configured to press the sheet conveyed by the reverse roller pair in a thickness direction of the sheet so as to curve the sheet as viewed in a sheet conveying direction in the sheet conveying path; a moving portion movable by an edge of the sheet passing through the sheet conveying path toward the reverse roller pair abutting against the moving portion, the moving portion being arranged so that at least a part of a movable range of the moving portion is overlapped with the pressing portion as viewed in a width direction orthogonal to the sheet conveying direction; and a sensor configured to detect a movement of the moving portion, wherein the pressing portion is arranged at a position at which the pressing portion is overlapped with a conveyance center of the reverse roller pair in the width direction orthogonal to the sheet conveying direction, wherein the moving portion includes:\n a first abutment portion configured to abut against the sheet passing through the sheet conveying path on one side of the pressing portion in the width direction; and \n a second abutment portion configured to abut against the sheet passing through the sheet conveying path on an other side of the pressing portion in the width direction, and \n wherein the first abutment portion and the second abutment portion are arranged symmetrically with respect to the conveyance center in the width direction.
