Abstract:
A correction mechanism incorporated in a belt conveyance device includes a pair of inclined bearings and a pair of main body guides, and corrects meandering of an endless belt. The pair of inclined bearings include a pair of inclined portions, and support a shaft portion of a roller that stretches the belt. The pair of main body guides contact the pair of inclined portions, and, when the belt meanders, cause one end part side of the roller in the axial direction thereof to move in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction thereof. The pair of inclined portions and the pair of main body guides are disposed inward of opposite end parts of the roller in the axial direction thereof, as seen from a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the roller.
