PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fixing device capable of avoiding, in providing a nip forming member and its support member on an inner peripheral side of a fixing belt in addition to a heat source, a reduction in strength and thermal deformation of the members due to the application of heat thereto.SOLUTION: A fixing device 20 includes an endless belt that is a fixing belt 21, a pressure rotating body 24 that is brought into contact with an outer peripheral surface of the belt, a nip forming member 26 that is arranged inside the belt and forms a fixing nip part N with the pressure rotating body 24 with the belt therebetween, a support member that is arranged inside the belt and supports the nip forming member 26, and a heat source 23 that is arranged inside the belt. The support member 27 is attached with a heat transfer member having thermal conductivity equal to or higher than that of the support member 27, and connected with a frame of a device body. |
