<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image heating device quickening responsiveness of a heat sensitive element that cuts off energization to a heating body in an abnormal temperature rise of the heating body. <P>SOLUTION: The image heating device includes: a heating body formed with a heat element that generates heat by energization, in the inside thereof; a heat sensitive element operating by heat due to abnormal temperature rise of the heating body and cutting off the energization to the heat element; and a resin spacer provided between the heating body and the heat sensitive element. The spacer includes leg parts coming into contact with the heating body in a projection area formed by projecting an area formed with the heat element on the surface of the heating body, in the interior of the heating body. The leg part is softened by heat due to the abnormal temperature rise of the heating body. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
