Abstract
A sheet conveyance apparatus includes a roller pair having first and second rollers, a roller holder having first and second guided portions, and a guiding portion having first and second guides. The first and second rollers can take a first state where the first roller contacts the second roller with a predetermined force and take a second state where the predetermined force is reduced. A first direction in which the first guide guides the first guided portion is inclined relative to a second direction in which the second guide guides the second guided portion. When viewed in a rotational axis direction of the first roller with the first and second rollers in the first state, an angle formed by a straight line passing through rotational centers of the first and second rollers and the first direction is smaller than an angle formed by the straight line and the second direction.
