Abstract:
A sheet conveying apparatus, including: a separation-conveyance portion; a first conveyance rotary member and a second conveyance rotary member provided downstream of the separation-conveyance portion to convey the sheet in cooperation with each other; and a third conveyance rotary member arranged between the separation-conveyance portion and the first or the second conveyance rotary member in a sheet conveyance direction, wherein a conveyance speed of the second conveyance rotary member is changeable to a first conveyance speed which is the same as the first conveyance rotary member and a second conveyance speed different from the first conveyance speed, and wherein, when the first conveyance rotary member is set to the first conveyance speed and the second conveyance rotary member is set to the second conveyance speed, the third conveyance rotary member is set to a third conveyance speed between the first conveyance speed and the second conveyance speed.

Claim (Index 12):
An image forming apparatus, comprising:\n an image forming device configured to form an image on a conveyed sheet; a separation-conveyance portion configured to separate and convey a sheet; a first conveyance rotary member, which is provided downstream of the separation-conveyance portion in a sheet conveyance direction and is configured to further convey the sheet at a predetermined conveyance speed in contact with the sheet being conveyed by the separation-conveyance portion; a second conveyance rotary member, which is provided downstream of the separation-conveyance portion in the sheet conveyance direction, is arranged apart from the first conveyance rotary member by a predetermined interval in a width direction orthogonal to the sheet conveyance direction, and is configured to convey the sheet being conveyed by the separation-conveyance portion in cooperation with the first conveyance rotary member; and a third conveyance rotary member, which is arranged at a position between a position at a most downstream end of the separation-conveyance portion and a position at a most downstream end of the first conveyance rotary member or the second conveyance rotary member in the sheet conveyance direction and is configured to convey the sheet being conveyed by the separation-conveyance portion, wherein a conveyance speed of the sheet by the second conveyance rotary member is changeable to a first conveyance speed which is the same as a conveyance speed of the sheet by the first conveyance rotary member and a second conveyance speed which is different from the first conveyance speed, and wherein, when the conveyance speed of the sheet by the first conveyance rotary member is set to the first conveyance speed and the conveyance speed of the sheet by the second conveyance rotary member is set to the second conveyance speed, a conveyance speed of the sheet by the third conveyance rotary member is set to a third conveyance speed which is a speed between the first conveyance speed and the second conveyance speed.
