Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the durability of an endless belt by reducing cracking of a belt base body. SOLUTION: An intermediate transfer belt 26 is equipped with reinforcing tape members 41 and 42 on the top and reverse sides of a side edge of an endless belt base body 40 on one side along the width by putting reinforcing tape members 41 and 42 on the top and reverse sides of the side edge part on the other side respectively in the circumferential direction and also equipped with beltlike zigzagging preventing members 45 and 46 over the belt base body 40 in the circumferential direction across the reverse-side reinforcing tape members 42 and 44. Then the reinforcing tape member and zigzagging preventing member as superposed members on one side along the width are provided so that their joints 41a, 42a, and 45a shift in position by 120° from one another, and the reinforcing tape member and zigzagging preventing member as superposed members on the other side along the width are also provided so that their joints 43a, 44a, and 46a mutually shift in position by 120° and are prepared respectively. The joint positions of the superposed members of both the side edge parts also shift by 60° from each other. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
