  • MEDIUM DISCHARGING MECHANISM AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS THAT EMPLOYS THE MEDIUM DISCHARGING MECHANISM
    Publication number: 20090295084
    Abstract: A medium discharging mechanism includes a first roller, a second roller, and a resiliently deformable member. The second roller is in pressure contact with the first roller to form a nip between the first roller and the second roller. The resiliently deformable member is formed of a resiliently deformable material and is rotatable about a rotating shaft of one of the second roller. The resilient member has a larger diameter than the second roller. The resilient member deforms at the nip such that a surface of the resilient ring is flush with the nip.
