Publication number: 20200047488Abstract: A protective sheet is to be laid on an endless belt sheet and covers a surface of the endless belt sheet to protect the surface. When the protective sheet is laid on the endless belt sheet, the bending stiffness of the protective sheet is lower in the circumferential direction of the endless belt sheet than in the width direction that is orthogonal relative to the circumferential direction. Thus, the risk of being bent and damaged of the endless belt sheet is minimized and the cumbersomeness of the operation of replacing the endless belt sheet is remarkably reduced by using such a protective sheet.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 5, 2019Publication date: February 13, 2020Inventors: Toru Yamane, Mineto Yagyu, Kenji Hasegawa, Masahiro Sugimoto, Nobuo Komiya, Hitomi Ogasawara, Hideki Takaoka, Takeho Miyashita
