ABSTRACT:
A sheet member conveying mechanism, including a conveying guide for guiding a sheet member from a paper feed port to a paper discharge tray, a forwarding roller disposed on the most upstream side of the conveying guide, and a paper feed roller disposed on the downstream side of the forwarding roller to convey sheet members, forwarded by the forwarding roller, downstream one by one. An upper part of the outer peripheral surfaces of each of the forwarding roller and the paper feed roller is exposed above the upper surface of the conveying guide. The uppermost site of the paper feed roller is located at a lower position than the uppermost site of the forwarding roller. In order to avoid contact with a curled front end portion of a sheet member positioned on the forwarding roller, the upper surface of the conveying guide is curved such that its height decreases, beginning at the downstream end of the exposed part of the outer peripheral surface of the forwarding roller toward the upstream end of the exposed part of the outer peripheral surface of the paper feed roller, as viewed in the axial direction.
