Masaaki Tomimizu is an inventor associated with Saitama, Japan. His recorded patent concerns belt conveying and image-forming apparatuses, with a focus on correcting sideways belt movement.
Latest Patents
The supplied information lists one patent for Tomimizu: “Belt Conveying Apparatus and Image Forming Apparatus.” The invention allows the axial inclination of a driven roller to be adjusted after assembly, helping correct belt movement caused by component tolerances and differences in tension across the belt. It also uses tapered auxiliary rollers that can rotate relative to their supporting rollers. If the belt shifts onto an auxiliary roller during operation, the design helps guide it back to its original position. The record lists 1 patent.
