PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sheet conveyance device capable of stably separating and conveying a top sheet from a sheet bundle, and an image formation apparatus using the same.SOLUTION: A sheet conveyance device 10 includes an endless moving attraction belt 2 which is tensed between an upstream-side tension roller 5 and a downstream-side tension roller 6, and arranged opposite an upper surface of a sheet bundle 1 having sheets stacked; an air jet part 9 which jets air from a downstream-side end in a sheet conveying direction toward the sheet bundle 1 so as to float and separate sheets; and an electrode member 3 which attracts a floated and separated top most sheet 1a to the attraction belt 2 with electrostatic force, and conveys the top sheet 1a by the endless movement of the attraction belt 2 after attracting the floated and separated top most sheet 1a to the attraction belt 2. A tension surface 2a of the attraction belt 1 which faces an upper surface of the sheet bundle is inclined so that when the air is jetted by the air jet part 9, an upstream side of the sheet conveying direction is above the downstream side of the sheet conveying direction. |
