摘要:
An apparatus which maintains a moving belt in lateral alignment. The belt is supported so as to form an arcuate region therein. A guide engages the side edge of the belt in the arcuate region to prevent lateral movement thereof.
摘要:
An apparatus in which a belt is supported for movement in a pre-determined path. The lateral movement of the belt relative to the pre-determined path is controlled. A pneumatic system provides pressurized fluid to at least partially support the belt and control the lateral movement thereof.
摘要:
An apparatus in which an endless belt is at least partially supported on the fluid film in a predetermined path of movement. A pneumatic system, responsive to a deviation of the belt from the path of movement, restrains the movement of the belt to the pre-determined path of movement.

Reproduction apparatus utilizing a moving endless belt to receive and transport an electrostatic charge image or a pigment image is provided with belt positioning means of simple form to hold the belt taut and in required alignment. A convexly curved smooth guiding surface, advantageously stationary, has the belt pressed against it and slid over it under tension as the belt enters a processing path in which it receives the image, and edge guides are disposed almost or actually in contact with the opposite side edges of a relaxed portion of the belt approaching the region where the belt is pressed against the slide surface. Belt driving means beyond the processing path keep the belt under tension sufficient to hold it flat and straight in an imagereceiving flight of its travel. In a return region of its path beyond the driving means a length of the belt is kept under substantially no applied tension.

A BELT TRACKING ARRANGEMENT FOR USE WITH A BELT SUPPORTING ROLLER WHEREIN THE SHAFT FOR THE ROLLER IS MOUNTED FOR SHORT PIVOTAL MOVEMENT ABOUT AN AXIS NORMAL TO ITS AXIS AND WHICH LIES IN A PLANE THAT BISECTS THE ANGLE OF THE BELT RUNS ON EITHER SIDE OF THE ROLLER.
摘要:
Belt tracking apparatus for use with a nonstretchable continuous belt in conjunction with a plurality of belt supporting drums or rollers. The shaft of the belt tracking drum is mounted for short pivotal movement about an axis normal to its axis, said normal axis lying in a plane that bisects the angle of the belt runs on either side of the tracking drum. With the use of belt sensing means, a mechanical feedback linkage is utilized to pivot the tracking drum about said bisecting axis in order to effect accurate belt tracking.

An image formation device is provided with an endless belt wound around a driving roller and a driven roller, a driving helical gear integrally provided at an axial end of the driving roller and rotating integrally with the driving roller. The driving helical gear applies a rotational force and an axial force to the driving roller. A plurality of guiding ribs are provided to an inner surface of the endless belt, while a regulating portion is provided at least one of the driving roller and the driven roller. The regulating portion has a regulation surface. When the endless belt moves obliquely in a direction in which the driving helical gear applies the axial force to the driving roller, side surfaces of the guiding ribs contact the regulating surface and prevent the oblique movement of the endless belt.
摘要:
In an apparatus which controls the bias of an intermediate transfer belt, the position shift of the width direction between a toner image and a recording material is reduced. Based on the results of estimating the variation moving in the width direction of the intermediate transfer belt, the position in the width direction of the recording material conveyed to a transfer position is changed to match the positions in the width direction of the toner image and the recording material.
摘要:
A belt member driving device includes an arm configured to be movable with movement of a belt member in a width direction thereof while being in contact with an end of the belt member in the width direction thereof, a first detected portion provided on the arm, a second detected portion provided on the arm and disposed in a position different from that of the first detected portion in a direction perpendicular to a movement direction of the arm on a plane where the arm is moved, a first sensor configured to detect the first detected portion, and a second sensor configured to detect the second detected portion. The second sensor and the first sensor partly overlap each other in the movement direction of the arm as viewed in a direction perpendicular to the movement direction of the arm.
摘要:
A method of adjusting a lateral position of an endless belt that is passed around at least two rollers, comprising the steps of: controlling a tilt position of a first roller of the at least two rollers; and adjusting a lateral position of the first roller, wherein the lateral position of the first roller is adjusted in combination with controlling the tilt position of the first roller.
