  • Patent number: 10160601
    Abstract: A belt transporting device includes a belt; first and second adjustment members provided at two respective ends of a tension roller in a belt width direction orthogonal to a direction of rotation of the belt, the first and second adjustment members each being movable by receiving a force from the belt; and a link member that interlocks the movement of the first adjustment member and the movement of the second adjustment member. If the belt is laterally shifted in the belt width direction, one of the first and second adjustment members moves by receiving a force from the belt while the other is moved by the link member such that the tension roller is tilted with respect to a driving roller.

  • Patent number: 9533849
    Abstract: A sheet conveyance apparatus includes an apparatus body, a sheet stacking portion including an engagement portion, provided to be insertable to/removable from the apparatus body and capable of having sheets stacked thereon, and a conveyance guide portion provided to be insertable to/removable from the apparatus body and constituting a sheet conveyance path through which a sheet passes in a state where the conveyance guide portion is mounted to a mounted position in the apparatus body. The conveyance guide portion has an engaged portion that is pressed by the engagement portion accompanying an operation where the sheet stacking portion is inserted to the apparatus body, and moves the conveyance guide portion to the mounted position.
