Sheet conveyance apparatus, sheet processing apparatus, and image forming apparatus

Abstract

a pressing member adjoining the paper passing through the paper conveying path and rotating in a paper conveying direction while being pressed by the paper is rotatably provided in the paper conveying path through which the paper conveyed to the paper stacking section passes , and a moving portion to which the pressing member is retracted from the sheet conveyance path is provided. If a jammed paper is pulled out from the paper conveying path in a direction opposite to the paper conveying direction, the jam handling door is opened, the moving part is operated in relation to the opening movement, and the pressing member is removed from the paper conveying path. take back.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a paper conveying apparatus, a paper processing apparatus, and an image forming apparatus, and in particular, to a paper conveying apparatus, a paper processing apparatus, and an image forming apparatus capable of easily handling jammed paper without damaging the paper. Background technique [0002] Heretofore, in image forming apparatuses such as copiers, in order to preserve the time and effect of paper binding, for example, after image forming, there are some apparatuses which include a sheet handling apparatus which sequentially brings sheets into the apparatus after image forming and binds the sheets or the like. [0003] Then, some of such paper processing apparatuses have a function of conveying the paper into an intermediate stacking section by a paper conveying device, aligning the ends of the papers in the intermediate stacking section, and binding the papers by a binding unit such as a binding machine (for exa...

Problems solved by technology

[0014] Therefore, in the case of paper jam handling, it is necessary to pay attention to the pressing member 103 and remove the jammed paper in a time-consuming manner.

Therefore jam handling consumes time and effort

In addition, reinforcement of the pressing member 103 is performed so that the pressing member 103 is not damaged resulting in an increase in cost

[0015] In addition, there is a problem that the pressing member 103 is damaged by the user touching the pressing member 103 at the time of paper jam handling, and the pressing member 103 catches the jammed paper, tears the jammed paper, and a part of it remains in the middle stack

In addition, in the conventional structure, unless the rear end of the paper protrudes upstream from the intermediate conveying roller, handling jammed paper from upstream in the paper conveying direction cannot be accomplished.
