Abstract:
1. A sheet conveying apparatus comprising: a movable body which can swing around a swing fulcrum with respect to a main body of the apparatus; a first conveyance guide which is pivotably supported on the movable body and which guides a sheet; and a second conveyance guide which is provided on the main body of the apparatus, wherein the movable body can swing between a first position where the first conveyance guide and the second conveyance guide are combined to form a sheet conveyance path to convey the sheet and a second position where the first conveyance guide is distanced from the second conveyance guide to enlarge a space for the sheet conveyance path formed by the first conveyance guide and the second conveyance guide; wherein the first conveyance guide is mounted on the movable body so as to be pivotable around a support shaft; and wherein when the movable body swings from the first position to the second position, the first conveyance guide separates from the second conveyance guide together with the movable body and pivots around the support shaft in an opposite direction to a swinging direction of the movable body to further separate a part of the first conveyance guide on the swing fulcrum side of the movable body from the second conveyance guide.
