A fixing device for use in an image forming apparatus includes a flexible fixing member (21), a pressure member (31), an abutting member (22), and an interior member (23). The flexible fixing member is formed in an endless shape and is configured to heat and melt a toner image. The pressure member is disposed so as to be in contact with the fixing member with pressure. The abutting member is fixedly disposed on an inner surface of the fixing member so as to form a nip portion by abutting the pressure member via the fixing member. The interior member is fixedly disposed so as to face the inner surface of the fixing member except the nip portion, and is configured to heat the fixing member. The abutting member and the interior member are provided independent of each other. |
