Abstract
A transfer material separating device. An endless separation belt is interposed between a transfer material and a surface to which the transfer material is brought into contact. A rotatable member is provided for guiding the transfer material between the separator belt and the rotatable member to separate the transfer material. A deflecting member provides a separation path along which the transfer material is deflected by the rotatable member to separate the transfer material and, in addition, provides a return path which is out of contact with the surface to which the transfer material is brought into contact. The deflecting member serves to reduce the twist of the separation path as well as the return path.
