Claim Text:
1. An image heating apparatus comprising: a coil configured to generate magnetic flux; a belt member configured to generate heat by the magnetic flux, wherein said coil is provided at a position where said coil opposes an outer peripheral surface of said belt member; a first core and a second core which are provided inside said belt member; a contact member contacting an inner surface of said belt member along a widthwise direction of said belt member; a pressing member configured to press said belt member against said contact member to form a nip in which a recording material is nip-conveyed; a core supporting member configured to support said first core and said second core; a pressing mechanism configured to generate pressure for forming the nip by using a force generated between said core supporting member and said contact member; and adjusting means, provided on said core supporting member, for adjusting the height of each of said first core and said second core so that the height of a supporting surface configured to support said first core and the height of a supporting surface configured to support said second core are different from each other with respect to a direction perpendicular to the supporting surfaces of the first core and the second core.
