MEDIUM CONVEYING DEVICE

To provide a medium conveying device capable of preferably conveying a thicker medium.SOLUTION: A medium conveying device 100 comprises: first rollers 113; second rollers 114 that are arranged to oppose the first rollers, and nip and convey a medium with the first rollers; a drive force generation part 141 for rotating drive shafts; and joint parts 123, 125 for tiltably connecting a rotation shaft 122 of the second rollers with the drive shafts 124, 126. Each of the drive shafts is arranged at an intermediate position between a position where the second rollers are in contact with the first rollers, and a position where the second rollers are farthest away from the first rollers in a vertical direction. A distance between a drive shaft position and the position where the second rollers are farthest away from the first rollers in the vertical direction is larger than a radius of the second roller.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 【課題】より厚い媒体を良好に搬送することが可能な媒体搬送装置を提供する。【解決手段】媒体搬送装置１００は、第１ローラ１１３と、第１ローラに対向して配置され、且つ、第１ローラと共に媒体を挟持搬送する第２ローラ１１４と、駆動軸を回転させる駆動力発生部１４１と、第２ローラの回転軸１２２と駆動軸１２４、１２６とを傾動自在に接続するジョイント部１２３、１２５と、を有し、駆動軸は、第２ローラが第１ローラと当接する位置と、第２ローラが第１ローラから最も垂直方向に離間する位置との中間位置に配置され、第２ローラが第１ローラから最も垂直方向に離間する位置と駆動軸の位置との間の距離は、第２ローラの半径より大きい。【選択図】図３
