An electromagnetic induced heating roller (21) comprises a core member (24), an elastic layer (23), induction heating layer (22), and a mold release layer in this order from inside to outside. Further, a magnetic shield layer for preventing a magnetic flux from penetrating into the core member (24) is interposed between the induction heating layer (22) and the core member (24). Out of an alternating magnetic field from a magnetic field generating means, a leakage flux having penetrated through the induction heating layer (22) is trapped by the magnetic shield layer. As a result, most of the impressed alternating magnetic flux is consumed for heating the heating layer (22), resulting in an improvement in the heating efficiency. A trouble is prevented which is generated by heating the bearing of the core member (24). <IMAGE> |
