ABSTRACT:
A take-up device of an image forming sheet material, in which a plurality of sheet materials used for formation of images is sequentially wound, comprises: a core member formed in the shape of a cylinder and supported rotatably, the core member being provided such that the plurality of sheet materials can be wound around an outer periphery of the core member; an endless belt entrained across a plurality of rollers and moved in a circulating manner in a predetermined direction with an outer periphery of the endless belt contacting by pressure an outer periphery of the core member so as to rotate the core member and the endless belt nipping the sheet material together with the core member to sequentially wind the plurality of sheet materials around the core member; and tension maintaining means for maintaining tension of the endless belt substantially fixedly irrespective of a change of a winding diameter of the sheet material wound around the core member. Since the plurality of sheet materials are accumulated in such a manner as to be wound around the core member, even if the sheet materials having different sizes are included mixedly, these material be effectively accumulated.
