SHEET CONVEYING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING DEVICE

To provide a sheet conveying device and an image forming device having a sheet-removing mechanism smaller than a sheet-removing mechanism in which a gear and a dial are not disposed adjacently to a rotating shaft of a sheet-conveying roller.SOLUTION: A sheet conveying device comprises: a first sheet-conveying roller 35; a gear 51 which is fixed at a position closer to one end of a rotating shaft 351 of the sheet-conveying roller 35 and away from a sheet passing area where the sheet passes, and transmits the rotation of the sheet-conveying roller 35 to a second sheet-conveying roller located upstream of the sheet-conveying roller 35 in the sheet conveying direction; and a dial 52 which is disposed at a position closer to the end of the sheet-conveying roller 35 than the gear 51 and adjacently to the gear 51, is rotated integrally with the gear 51, and manually rotated to rotate the gear 51.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】用紙搬送ローラの回転軸にギアとダイアルを隣接して配置しないものよりも小型の用紙取除き機構を備えた用紙搬送装置および画像形成装置を提供する。【解決手段】第１の用紙搬送ローラ３５と、用紙搬送ローラ３５の回転軸３５１の、用紙が通過する用紙通過領域から外れた一方の端部寄りの位置に固定され、用紙搬送ローラ３５の回転を、その用紙搬送ローラ３５よりも用紙搬送方向上流側に配置された第２の用紙搬送ローラに向けて伝達するギア５１と、そのギア５１よりもさらに用紙搬送ローラ３５の端部寄りであってギア５１に隣接した位置に配置されてギア５１と一体に回転する、手動で回転させることによりギア５１を回転させるダイアル５２とを備えた。【選択図】図２
