Summary:A conveying apparatus for conveying a flexible sheet along a sheet-convey path (23) including a curved portion (17). The conveying apparatus comprises an outer guide (18) which defines an outer portion of the curved portion (17) of the sheet-convey path (23). The outer guide (18) includes at least one curved plate (102, 103-106) having a first curved guide surface (100) which contacts and guides the flexible sheet; and a guide base (101) including at least one holding portion (107, 108-111) which holds said at least one curved plate (102, 103-106). The at least one curved plate (102, 103-106) is formed of a synthetic resin assuring that the first curved guide surface (100) thereof has a first frictional resistance lower than a second frictional resistance of a surface of the guide base (101).
