FIXING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fixing device capable of suppressing damage on an end of a fixing belt.SOLUTION: Two protective members 41 and 42 that protect an end of a fixing belt 21 are disposed arranged in a shaft direction between the end of the fixing belt 21 and a belt holding member 40 that rotatably holds the end of the fixing belt 21. The coefficient of friction between the two protective members 41 and 42 is made smaller than the coefficient of friction between the protective member 41 on the fixing belt 21 side and the fixing belt 21.
