IMAGE FIXING DEVICE

摘要

A fixing device includes a fixing device for nipping and feeding a sheet to fix a toner image on a sheet, said fixing device including a first fixing member contactable with a front surface of the sheet, and a second fixing member provided with an electroconductive surface layer contactable with a back surface of the sheet; a feeder provided downstream of said fixing device with respect to a sheet feeding direction to nip and feed the sheet, a feeder including a first feeding roller contactable with the front surface, and a second feeding roller provided with an electroconductive surface layer contactable with the back surface; a first discharging member contacted with said electroconductive surface layer of said second fixing member to discharge said second fixing member; and a second discharging member contacted with said electroconductive surface layer of said second feeding roller to discharge said second feeding roller.

主权项

1. A fixing device comprising:
a fixing device configured to nip and feed a sheet to fix a toner image on a sheet, said fixing device including a first fixing member contactable with a toner image carrying surface of the sheet, and a second fixing member provided with an electroconductive surface layer contactable with a surface of the sheet opposite the toner image carrying surface; a feeding device provided downstream of said fixing device with respect to a feeding direction of the sheet and configured to nip and feed the sheet, feeding device including a first feeding roller contactable with the toner image carrying surface of the sheet, and a second feeding roller provided with an electroconductive surface layer contactable with the surface of the sheet opposite the toner image carrying surface; a first electrical discharging member contacted with said electroconductive surface layer of said second fixing member to electrically discharge said second fixing member; and a second electrical discharging member contacted with said electroconductive surface layer of said second feeding roller to electrically discharge said second feeding roller.
