Disclosed is an improvement over a facsimile transmitter apparatus of the type in which a scanning system disposed within a transparent cylinder scans a subject copy wrapped around the cylinder, wherein one side edge of a subject copy wrapping belt is securely fixed to the outer surface of the cylinder in the axial direction thereof while the other side edge is securely fixed to a take-up roller after the belt having been wrapped therearound, the take-up roller being biased to resist the unrolling of the wrapping belt, and the transparent cylinder is rotated through in excess of 360.degree. from the initial position to the wrapping position where the subject copy is wrapped completely around the transparent cylinder and between the transparent cylinder and the wrapping belt, the cylinder being reversed in rotation to release and discharge the subject copy.
A facsimile system comprising a rotatably supported transparent cylinder around which is wrapped a subject copy to be transmitted, a belt having the width extended in the axial direction of said transparent cylinder, one side edge of said belt being securely attached to the surface of said transparent cylinder in the axial direction thereof while an edge of the opposite side is resiliently biased to oppose the extension or drawing of said belt, a pressure roller for pressing said belt against said transparent cylinder, means for selectively moving said pressure roller toward or away from said transparent cylinder, means for rotating said transparent cylinder, and scanning means adapted to rotate and to be displaced in said transparent cylinder, the subject copy being interposed between the outer side surface of said transparent cylinder and said belt.
