Abstract
A sheet conveyance apparatus includes a first guide to guide a conveyed sheet and a second guide to face the first guide and to form a sheet conveyance path together with the first guide, with the second guide being pivotable between a first position in which the sheet conveyance path is formed and a second position in which the sheet conveyance path is opened. A cover is movable between a closed position in which it covers the second guide and an open position in which the second guide is manipulatable, and an abutting portion is provided on the cover to abut the second guide. In a state where the second guide is held at the second position by the holding portion and the cover moves to the closed position from the open position, the abutting portion abuts the second guide to release the second guide held by the holding portion.
