Abstract:
A sheet conveying apparatus includes a first rotating member, a second rotating member to convey a sheet in a first direction upon the first rotating member rotating, a third rotating member to convey the sheet in a second direction upon the first rotating member rotating, and a switching unit. The switching unit switches a position of the first rotating member between a first position at which the first and second or first and third rotating members convey the sheet, and a second position at which the first rotating member is retracted. Before a rear end of the sheet has been conveyed by the first rotating member and the second rotating member, the switching unit moves the first rotating member from the first position towards the second position. The switching unit stops a movement of the first rotating member at a position between the first position and the second position.

Claim (Index 17):
The sheet conveying apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising:\n a stack unit on which the sheet that has been discharged is to be stacked; a first conveyance path configured to convey the sheet towards the first rotating member and the second rotating member; and a second conveyance path configured to convey the sheet, which has been conveyed in the first direction by the first rotating member and the second rotating member, to the first conveyance path once again, wherein the first direction is a direction in which the sheet is conveyed from the first rotating member towards the stack unit by the first rotating member and the second rotating member, and the second direction is a direction in which the sheet is conveyed from the stack unit towards the second conveyance path by the first rotating member and the third rotating member.
