ABSTRACT:
A transfer belt (10) has a two-layer structure consisting of two inner belts (31) formed of metal, such as stainless steel, and an outer belt (32) formed of an elastic material, such as silicone rubber, being spread across the inner belts (31). The inner belts (31) are endless and wound around transfer rollers (12), while the outer belt (32) has its ends which are not joined with each other and form an opening (20) therebetween. Distortion of the outer belt (32) due to stress is designed to be suppressed by using a reinforcing member around the opening (20).
