APPARATUS FOR TRANSFERRING TONER IMAGES

摘要

An apparatus for transferring a toner image from an endless belt to a stationary receiving material situated on a flat plate, the toner image being formed by image-forming drums on a part of the belt movable continuously along the drums and transferred to the stationary receiving material from the leading edge of the toner image to the trailing edge of the toner image, a loop or section in the belt being increased before the image-transfer station and a loop in the belt being reduced after the image-transfer station. Tensioning rollers hold the belt tensioned during image transfer, by moving said rollers in planes forming an acute angle .alpha. with the plane in which the receiving material is situated, the belt at the image-transfer station forming a constant angle .beta. with said plane.
