PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fixing device having improved heat generation efficiency by effectively using input electric power, even when using no core in a magnetic field generating means. SOLUTION: The fixing device includes: a magnetic field generating means formed into a coil form from a conductive wire; a heating means composed of at least a conductive body having the form of a hollow cylinder or comprising an endless belt, held so as to be freely rotated, and heated by a magnetic field generated by a magnetic field generating means; a press-contact means disposed in press-contact with the heating means; and a temperature measuring means disposed in the heating means and measuring the temperature of the heating means. The magnetic field generating means is disposed outside the heating means. The temperature measuring means is disposed between the heat generating part of the heating means and the nip area in the rotating direction. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
