Abstract:
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 14):
A sheet storing apparatus comprising:\n a storage portion configured to store a sheet; a first stack portion on which a sheet is to be stacked; a first conveyance path configured to convey a sheet from the storage portion towards the first stack portion; a second stack portion on which a sheet is to be stacked, wherein the second stack portion is provided at a position different from that of the first stack portion; a second conveyance path that branches from the first conveyance path; 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 stack portion with 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 stack portion with a second guide surface that is a surface opposite to the first guide surface; and an opening and closing member configured to expose the second conveyance path, wherein first guiding member includes:\n a first pivot shaft configured to pivot the first guiding member from the first state to the second state, and \n a second pivot shaft configured to pivot, \n wherein, in a case in which the opening and closing member is opened and the second conveyance path is exposed, the second pivot shaft pivots the first guiding member towards the opening and closing member to allow the first conveyance path to be exposed.
