PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a transfer belt conveying device that suppresses deviation and meander of a transfer belt and prevents damage to the transfer belt in an early stage, in an image forming apparatus. SOLUTION: The belt conveying device conveys the sheet-like belt 4 by means of a drive roller 7 and an idle roller 6, wherein spiral friction layer 12 that is bilaterally-symmetrical, is formed on the circumferential face of at least one of the rollers from a material that causes high frictional force between the material and the belt. In addition, a frictional layer 11 is also formed in the middle of the roller 6. The idle roller 6 has a flange 14 at its end. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
