FIXING APPARATUS FOR IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

摘要

A fusing apparatus of an image forming apparatus is provided to stably supply power to a sheet type heating element even through the sheet type heating element rotates along with rotation of a heating roller by contacting an electrode connecting unit connected with an electrode of the sheet type heating element installed at the heating roller with a circular conductor. A fixing apparatus includes a heating roller(10). A pressurizing roller(20) rotates in a state of being adhered closely to the heating roller. A heat source is installed inside the heating roller. An electrode connecting unit(40) is installed to be connected with an electrode of the heat source. A circular conductor(50) is installed at a predetermined gap with the heating roller to maintain a contact state of the heating roller with the electrode connecting unit when the heating roller rotates. A power supply unit(60) applies power to the circular conductor.
