Sheet discharge rotary body for use in image forming apparatus

摘要

The present invention has an object to provide a fixing apparatus which is configured to easily facilitate to prevent a semi-melted developer on a recording medium from adhering to surfaces of upper rotary bodies and an image forming apparatus which is equipped with the fixing apparatus.This object is accomplished by configuring the fixing apparatus so that a sheet which has been subjected to a fixing treatment receives conveying forces from pinch rollers having rotating axial directions which are on a plane in parallel with a surface of the sheet and inclined at a predetermined angle theta relative to rotating axial directions of a fixing roller and a press roller.
