Abstract:
1. A conveyor system, comprising: a first conveyor belt formed into an endless loop, entrained about and stretched taut between a plurality of rollers including a separation roller including a rotary shaft and a support roller disposed upstream from the separation roller in a traveling direction of the first conveyor belt, to carry a sheet-type medium on an outer circumferential surface of the first conveyor belt; a second conveyor belt formed into an endless loop, entrained about and stretched taut between a plurality of rollers including a first roller disposed at an uppermost stream in a transport direction of the sheet-type medium and a second roller disposed downstream from the first roller, to carry, on an outer circumferential surface of the second conveyor belt, the sheet-type medium separated from a wound portion of the first conveyor belt wound around the separation roller; a belt alignment device to tilt the rotary shaft of the separation roller to restrict a range of belt mistracking of the first conveyor belt in a width direction of the first conveyor belt within a predetermined range; and a restriction member to restrict an amount of inclination of the rotary shaft of the separation roller such that a hypothetical extended plane, which is a hypothetical extension of the outer circumferential surface of the first conveyor belt between the separation roller and the support roller to a downstream side in the transport direction, does not contact a rotational center axis of the first roller.
