| 发明名称 | Fixing device and image forming apparatus | ||
| 摘要 | A fixing device includes a heating unit that heats an unfixed image on a recording medium, which is deformed by heating, and hence fixes the unfixed image; and a transport member that closely contacts a no-image surface of the recording medium and transports the recording medium while causing a close contact force to act on the recording medium against a deformation force, which is generated at the recording medium by the heating of the heating unit. The close contact force of the recording medium with respect to the transport member is larger than the deformation force generated at the recording medium. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. A fixing device, comprising: a heating unit that heats an unfixed image on a recording medium, which is deformed by heating, and hence fixes the unfixed image; and a transport member that closely contacts a no-image surface of the recording medium and transports the recording medium while causing a close contact force to act on the recording medium against a deformation force, which is generated at the recording medium by the heating of the heating unit, wherein the close contact force of the recording medium with respect to the transport member is larger than the deformation force generated at the recording medium, wherein the transport member has a base member and an elastic layer at a surface that contacts the recording medium, the elastic layer having a larger close contact force than a close contact force of the base member. | ||
