Abstract
A sheet conveyance apparatus includes a base unit, a sheet stacking portion, a feeding portion, an open/close member, a conveyance guide member, a protruding portion, and a fitted portion. The feeding portion feeds a sheet stacking portion stacked sheet. The open/close member includes an upper guide facing an upper surface of the fed sheet. The conveyance guide member includes a lower guide facing a lower surface of the fed sheet and forms a sheet conveyance path with the upper guide. The protruding portion is provided on one of the open/close member and the conveyance guide member. The fitted portion is on the other of the open/close member and the conveyance guide member and is fitted with the protruding portion. In a state where the open/close member is closed, a position of the conveyance guide member in a width direction is determined by the protruding portion fitting into the fitted portion.
