Abstract
A sheet conveyance device includes a sheet conveyance passage, a mounting plate, and a sheet detection sensor. The mounting plate is fixed to a recessed portion formed in the inner wall surface of the sheet conveyance passage at its one side it. The sheet detection sensor is fitted on the mounting plate. The sheet detection sensor has a sensor surface. The mounting plate has a mounting surface on which the sheet detection sensor is mounted and a first projection piece which projects from the mounting surface toward the sheet conveyance passage and which is grounded. The first projection piece is disposed upstream, in the sheet conveyance direction, of the sheet detection sensor on the mounting plate. The distance from the mounting surface to the distal end of the first projection piece is greater than the distance from the mounting surface to the sensor surface.
