Abstract
A belt device includes a plurality of support rotators, a belt, a rotator inclination unit, a belt tension adjuster, and a descent stopper. The belt is looped around the plurality of support rotators and rotated by rotation of the plurality support rotators. The rotator inclination unit inclines a rotation axis of a first support rotator of the plurality of support rotators relative to a rotation axis of another support rotator of the plurality of support rotators that is different from the first support rotator. The belt tension adjuster adjusts tension of the belt, and the descent stopper prevents the first support rotator from descending.
