PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fixing device capable of preventing the deterioration of image quality. SOLUTION: The fixing device 20 is provided with a fixing roller 41 which fixes a toner image transferred to a paper P on it and conveys the paper P along a predetermined conveying path and a separation claw unit 60 which separates the paper P from the fixing roller 41. The separation claw unit 60 includes: a claw member 62 which has a tip claw portion 62b which comes into contact with the circumferential surface of the fixing roller 41, separating the paper P from the fixing roller 41; a holder member 61 which holds the claw member 62; and a roller member 63 which is provided in the holder member 61, so as to project in the conveying path, in a position on the downstream side of the conveying path from the tip claw portion 62b and guides the paper P to the downstream side of the conveying path while rotating in contact with the paper P separated from the fixing roller 41. The roller member 63 is deformed according to pressure applied from the paper P, coming in surface contact with the paper P, when the paper is guided. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
