Abstract
A displacement mechanism for a secondary transfer unit () includes a first eccentric cam (), a second eccentric cam () and a shaft member (). The first eccentric cam () and the second eccentric cam () are in contact with either edge portion of the secondary transfer unit () in width direction of a primary transfer belt (), and rotate in phase with each other. The shaft member () supports the first eccentric cam () and the second eccentric cam (). The first eccentric cam () is configured in such a manner that any radius in a peripheral portion () is of magnitude not less than a radius at a segment of the second eccentric cam () that is in phase with a segment of the peripheral portion (). The second eccentric cam () is configured in such a manner that any radius in at least a segment of a peripheral portion () not including a press generating section () nor a separation generating section () is smaller than a radius at a segment of the first eccentric cam () that is in phase with the segment of the peripheral portion ().
