RECORD SHEET TRANSPORT MECHANISM

PURPOSE:To facilitate positioning of a record sheet during its setting process by arranging thin film-like guide belts for interposing a record sheet along the total range of its passing part near both right and left edges of the record sheet and enabling the end of this belt to be opened. CONSTITUTION:Stable run of a record sheet 1 can be achieved, not particulary requiring adjustment of precise guide plates by catching the record sheet 1 on both observe and reverse faces at both right and left edges by means of guide belts 8 along approximately the overall range of passing route. In addition, even if the upper mechanical unit 6 is opened, the position of the record sheet can not be shifted because the guide belts 8 stick to the lower mechanical unit 7 and continue to retain both edges of the record sheet 1. In the case of loading the record sheet 1, the upper guide belt 8 can be opened just by lifting a stay 10 in the direction of arrow. The record sheet is set therein and the stay 10 is pushed down. Then, no positioned shift of the record sheet 1 can take place until the upper mechanical unit 6 is closed. Therefore, positioning of the record sheet is made quite easier at the time of setting the record sheet.
