A sheet conveying apparatus includes a storage portion to store a sheet, first and second stack portions, first and second conveyance paths to convey a sheet towards the first stack portion and the second stack portion, respectively, a first conveyance unit, a reverse path, and a second conveyance unit. The first conveyance unit is provided downstream of the first conveyance path and reverses and conveys a sheet conveyed to the first conveyance path. The reverse path conveys, once more to the first conveyance path, a sheet that has been reversed by the first conveyance unit. The second conveyance unit is provided in the second conveyance path and downstream of an intersection point between the second conveyance path and the reverse path. While conveying and reversing a sheet conveyed to the second conveyance path towards the reverse path, the second conveyance conveys the conveyed sheet towards the second stack portion.

Claim (Index 3):
The sheet conveying apparatus according to  claim 2 , further comprising:\n a first guiding member provided at a branching point between the first conveyance path and the second conveyance path, wherein in a first state, the first guiding member guides a sheet towards the first conveyance unit using a first guide surface and, in a second state that is a state pivoted from the first state, the first guiding member guides a sheet to the second conveyance unit with a second guide surface that is a surface opposite to the first guide surface; and a second guiding member configured to guide a sheet to a position where the first rotating member and the second rotating member abut against each other or to a position where the first rotating member and the third rotating member abut against each other, wherein the second guiding member includes,\n a third guide surface configured to guide a sheet to a position where the first rotating member and the second rotating member abut against each other, and \n a fourth guide surface configured to guide a sheet to a position where the first rotating member and the third rotating member abut against each other.
