A fixing device for an image forming apparatus of the present invention includes a fixing member (1). A coating member (4) is rotatable in contact with the fixing member by following the rotation of the fixing member for thereby coating a parting agent on the fixing member. A feeding member (5) is rotatable in contact with the coating member by following the rotation of the coating member for thereby feeding the parting agent to the coating member. A holding member (7) holds the parting agent and is held in sliding contact with the feeding member to thereby deposit the parting agent on the feeding member. When the fixing member (1) is rotated in a direction opposite to a direction assigned to fixing while causing the coating member to rotate, a rotation limiting member prevents the feeding member from rotating by following the rotation of the coating member. <IMAGE>
