PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve such a problem that in a fixing device including a film, a plate-like heater coming into contact with the inner surface of the film, a support member supporting one surface of the heater, and a pressure member forming a nip part together with the heater, when a high heat conduction member is provided so as to come into contact with the heater between the heater and the support member, the effect of the high heat conduction member is not exhibited because the heater and the high heat conduction member do not come into sufficient contact with each other, when the press-contact state of the nip part is released.SOLUTION: A crown shape is formed in the surface facing the high heat conduction member of the support member and the heater is deformed to generate the restoring force of the heater. Thus, the heater and the high heat conduction member come into stable contact with each other. |
