Claim:
A conveying device comprising: a rotating roll that rotates; a conveying belt that rotates, nipping a conveyed member between the conveying belt and the rotating roll and conveying the conveyed member; and a pressing member that is disposed at the inner periphery of the conveying belt along the conveying belt rotation axis direction, receiving loads at both conveying belt rotation axis direction ends of the pressing member and pressing the conveying belt towards the rotating roll, the pressing member including an opposing face formed with a pressure point where the pressing force of the conveying belt towards the rotating roll is greatest, and an inclined face that is formed at the belt rotation direction upstream side relative to the pressure point, the inclined face inclining at an angle relative to a parallel line such that the inclined face separates away from the rotating roll, and the parallel line being parallel to a tangent to the rotating roll outer peripheral surface and passing through the pressure point.
