Abstract:
A sheet conveyance apparatus that conveys a sheet along a curved path shorter than the sheet and corrects skew of the sheet, includes: a conveyance roller that sends the sheet into the curved path; a guide that guides the sheet along the curved path; and a gate that is hinders advance of the leading end, generates a moment about a normal of the sheet passing through the leading end, and allows advance of the leading end by being pushed away by the leading end, wherein the guide includes a projection projecting toward a movement space for the sheet on a surface facing the movement space, and the projection abuts a center portion of the sheet in a longitudinal direction and generates a moment about an axis parallel to an advance direction of a portion that has come into contact with the projection.

Claim (Index 6):
The sheet conveyance apparatus according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein the gate includes at least one movable member disposed on each side of a center of the terminal end of the curved path in a width direction of the movement space for the sheet, and the at least one movable member is disposed such that the leading end of the sheet abuts the at least one movable member, is supported so as to be swingable about the width direction, and allows the advance of the leading end by swinging by being pushed by the leading end when the leading end of the sheet abuts the at least one movable member.
