Abstract
A sheet conveyed by a conveying member is pressed against a registration roller pair in a stop state, thereby forming a loop in a loop formation space between the conveying member and the registration roller pair. A lower member which forms the lower surface of the loop formation space has a shape with which the sheet conveyed by the conveying member moves toward the registration roller pair along an upper member which forms the upper surface of the loop formation space in forming the loop. When the lower member is pressed by the sheet conveyed by the registration roller pair while attenuating the loop, the lower member moves downward.
