If a damper or a magnetic catch is used to make a guide member self-holdable in an opened state, a force is required for holding the weight of the guide member in the opened state. This increases an operation force for closing the guide member and degrades the operability. In contrast, if a mechanical holding mechanism without using the damper is employed, the hold may be disengaged without intention of a user. A sheet conveyance device includes an upper conveyance guide for guiding a conveyed sheet and a holding portion for holding the upper conveyance guide in an opened position with respect to a lower conveyance guide opposed thereto, wherein the upper conveyance guide includes an operation portion for disengaging engagement between the upper conveyance guide and the holding portion, and the holding portion includes an operation portion for disengaging engagement between the upper conveyance guide and the holding portion.

An image forming apparatus including a main body, a first guide member coupled to the main body so as to be rotated from a first position to a second position, and a second guide member rotatably coupled to the first guide member. The first guide position defines a first paper discharge path to discharge paper, a printed surface of which is inverted, when it is in the first position. The first guide member defines a second paper discharge path, along which the printed surface of the paper is directly discharged, when it is pivotally rotated from the first position to the second position. The second guide member guides the paper on the first paper discharge path and does not interfere with the paper on the second paper discharge path.

An image formation apparatus (100) comprises an opening and closing cover (203), a cover fulcrum shaft (71), a roller shaft (36), and a grounding member (81). The cover fulcrum shaft (71) pivotally supports the opening and closing cover (203). The roller shaft (36) is disposed on the opening and closing cover (203). The grounding member (81) has a first portion (81a) connected to the roller shaft (36) and a second portion (81b) connected to the cover fulcrum shaft (71). The cover fulcrum shaft (71) has a bent part (71a) that is bent so as to extend in a direction intersecting the pivot axis direction of the opening and closing cover (203), the opening and closing cover (203) includes an engaging part (212) that engages with the bent part (71a), and the cover fulcrum shaft (71) integrally pivots with the opening and closing cover (203) when the opening and closing cover (203) is opened and closed.

A sheet detection device includes a moving member and a support member. The moving member includes an interference part capable of interfering with a sheet that passes through a sheet transport path. The support member slidably supports the moving member. When a sheet passes through the sheet transport path in a forward direction, the sheet interferes with the interference part of the moving member in a protruding posture, and the moving member turns in a first direction along the forward direction in a state of maintaining the protruding posture. When a sheet once stopped on the sheet transport path is pulled out in a reverse direction with a predetermined pull-out force, the moving member turns in a second direction that is opposite to the first direction, and changes the posture from the protruding posture to a retreating posture against a biasing force of a first bias member.

An image forming apparatus having a feed unit (55), a door (60), an in-body sheet feed section and a disposable unit (30). The feed unit (55) has a component of a sheet path for single-side printing and a component of a sheet path for double-side printing. The door (60) has a component of the sheet path for double-side pointing. The in-body sheet feed section has a component of the sheet path for single-side printing, and the disposable unit (30) includes a part of the in-body sheet feed section. The feed unit (55) and the door (60) are capable of pivoting on respective pivot shafts (61; 56). When the door (60) is closed, the door (60), the feed unit (55) and the in-body sheet feed section form the sheet path for single-side printing and the sheet path for double-side printing. When the door (60) is open, the disposable unit (30) is attachable to and detachable from the body (1) of the image forming apparatus through the open door (60), and in accordance with the pivoting state of the door (60) and the pivoting state of the feed unit (55), the door (60) and the feed unit (55) become a first state wherein the sheet path for single-side printing and the sheet path for double-side printing are open and become a second state wherein the feed unit (55) retreats from the locus of the disposable unit (30) to and from the body (1) of the image forming apparatus.
