ABSTRACT:
First bearing position 22 and second bearing position 23 are formed on bearing member 14 that supports rotational shaft 32 of driving conveyance roller 12 while being subjected to pressure from bearing spring 15. Normally, rotational shaft 32 is supported by first bearing position 22, and driving conveyance roller 12 is kept in pressure contact with the driven conveyance roller via the force from bearing spring 15. Conveyance of sheets is performed in this state. When the apparatus is stopped due to a paper jam and the user pulls out the jammed sheet, the force of the pulling causes rotational shaft 32 to detach from first bearing position 22 and move to second bearing position 23 and driving conveyance roller 12 loses pressure contact with the driven conveyance roller. Therefore, the sheet may be easily pulled out, and the apparatus may be reset for continued use.
