Abstract:
1. An image heating apparatus comprising: a coil for generating a magnetic flux: a heat generating member for generating heat by the magnetic flux generated by said coil, said coil provided in said heat generating member, and said heat generating member being effective to heat an image on a recording material; and a heat receiving member, in contact with a surface of said coil and disposed between said heat generating member and said coil, for receiving heat from said coil, and said heat receiving member being disposed opposed to an inside surface of said heat generating member with a gap therebetween, wherein a surface of said heat receiving member opposed to said heat generating member has a thermal emissivity of at least 0.95; and wherein said heat receiving member is contacted to said coil at a side opposed to inside surface of said heat generating member.
