Image heating apparatus

摘要

An image heating apparatus has a heat generating element with an electroconductive portion; a magnetic flux generating unit for generating a magnetic flux, wherein the magnetic flux generated by the magnetic flux generating unit produces eddy current in the heat generating element to heat the heat generating element; a back-up member cooperating with the heat generating element to form a nip therebetween, wherein the nip feeds a recording material carrying an image; a pressing member for applying pressure to the nip; a holding member of metal for holding a pressure by the pressing member; and a shield member provided between the magnetic flux generating unit and the holding member, for shielding magnetic.
