摘要

In an embodiment, provided is a fixing device that includes: a fixing belt rotatable and endless; a belt holding member holding the fixing belt at each end part in an axial direction; a heat source heating the fixing belt; a nip forming member provided inside the fixing belt; an opposing rotator forming a nip portion between the opposing rotator and the fixing belt via the fixing belt; and a separating member that extends near the nip portion and separates a recording medium from a surface of the fixing belt. A leading end of the separating member is provided with a receding portion and an approaching portion that is at a different position from a position of the receding portion different in the axial direction. The approaching portion is provided nearer to the nip portion than the receding portion is provided.

主权项

1. A fixing device comprising:
a fixing belt that is rotatable and endless; a belt holding member holding the fixing belt at each end part in an axial direction thereof; a heat source heating the fixing belt; a nip forming member provided inside the fixing belt; an opposing rotator forming a nip portion between the opposing rotator and the fixing belt by abutting onto the nip forming member via the fixing belt; and a separating member that extends near the nip portion and separates a recording medium from a surface of the fixing belt, wherein: a leading end of the separating member is provided with
a receding portion; andan approaching portion that is at a different position in the axial direction from a position of the receding portion; and the approaching portion is nearer to the nip portion along an extending direction of the separating member than the receding portion is provided; wherein the receding portion is more receding closer to a center of the separating member in the axial direction.
