A sheet skew-correcting device includes a sheet-conveying rotation body for conveying a sheet, a skew-correcting member that contacts an end of the sheet conveyed by the sheet-conveying rotation body for correcting skew of the sheet, and a driving unit for moving the skew-correcting member. The skew-correcting member moved in a sheet-conveying direction by the driving unit contacts the end of the sheet conveyed in the sheet-conveying direction by the sheet-conveying rotation body, so as to correct the skew of the sheet.

Skew-correcting device and sheet-processing apparatus

A sheet processing apparatus includes an aligning member configured to align an end of a bundle of sheets including a folded sheet by engaging with the edge of the bundle of sheets, and a sheet processing unit configured to process the bundle of sheets having the end aligned by the aligning member. The end of the bundle of sheets engaged with the aligning member is opposite to a folded portion of the folded sheet.

Sheet processing apparatus and image forming apparatus

Disclosed is an image forming apparatus that includes a plurality of developing devices capable of developing an electrostatic latent image on an image bearing member at a developing position, a developing device moving apparatus for holding the plurality of developing devices and selectively moving one of the plurality of developing devices to the developing position, a connecting portion disposed on an apparatus main body side for electrically connecting a developing device located at the developing position to an apparatus main body, and to-be-connected portions disposed to the plurality of developing devices, respectively and coming into contact with the connecting portion, wherein any one of the connecting portion and the to-be-connected portions comprises a rotary member which is rotated by being in contact with the other of them.
