Abstract
A pressing device for pressing a sheet-shaped subject such as a recording sheet on which an image is formed by toners or an optical latent image is formed to be fixed or developed is disclosed. The disclosed pressing device comprises a pair of pressing rollers, between which the sheet-shaped subject is passed, one of the pressing rollers being arranged such that a rotary axis thereof crosses a feeding direction of the sheet-shaped subject at right angles while the other one of the pressing rollers being arranged such that a rotary axis thereof crosses the rotary axis of the one of the rollers at a certain angle; and means for supporting the other one of the rollers to be moved in the axial direction thereof when it is driven to rotate in contact with the one of the rollers being rotating.
Claims11
A pressing device for pressing a sheet-shaped subject comprising:
- a pair of pressing rollers, between which said sheet-shaped subject is passed, one of said pressing rollers being arranged such that a rotary axis thereof crosses a feeding direction of said sheet-shaped subject at right angles while the other one of said pressing rollers being arranged such that a rotary axis thereof crosses said rotary axis of said one of the rollers at a certain angle;
- and
- means for supporting said other one of the rollers to be moved in the axial direction thereof when it is driven to rotate in contact with said one of the rollers being rotating.
A system for producing an image by pressing together a pair of sheet-shaped subjects in overlapped state comprising:
- a pair of pressing rollers, between which said pair of sheet-shaped subjects are passed in overlapped state, one of said pressing rollers being arranged such that a rotary axis thereof crosses a feeding direction of said sheet-shaped subject at right angles while the other one of said pressing rollers being arranged such that a rotary axis thereof crosses said rotary axis of said one of the rollers at a certain angle;
- and
- means for supporting said other one of the rollers to be moved in the axial direction thereof when it is driven to rotate in contact with said one of the rollers being rotating.
