Abstract:
A conveyor device, including: a first roller; a second roller disposed under the first roller and configured to be movable between a nip position at which the second roller cooperates with the first roller to nip a sheet therebetween so as to discharge the sheet in a discharge direction and a separated position located at a height level lower than the nip position; a cover configured to be movable between a first position and a second position located at a height level lower than the first position, the cover including a downstream wall which at least partially covers a downstream portion of the second roller located at the nip position when the cover is located at the first position; and a moving mechanism configured to move the second roller between the nip position and the separated position and to move the cover between the first position and the second position.

Claim (Index 11):
The conveyor device according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein the cover is engaged with a roller shaft of the second roller, wherein the moving mechanism has a guide hole for guiding the roller shaft, the guide hole including a first portion and a second portion whose height level is lower than the first portion, wherein, when the roller shaft is located at the first portion of the guide hole, the moving mechanism causes the cover to be located at the first position and causes the second roller to be located at the nip position, and wherein, when the roller shaft is located at the second portion of the guide hole, the moving mechanism causes the cover to be located at the second position and causes the second roller to be located at the separated position.
