Abstract: A bobbin (40) which is housed in a bobbin case holder (30)
is held, as it is elastically pressed by a peripheral wall (60)
of a bobbin case (31). Passing through a gap (122) which is
created between an outermost portion of a flange (97b) of the
bobbin (40) which is disposed on an open end side of the bobbin
case holder (30) and an inner peripheral surface of the
peripheral wall of the bobbin case (31) and between the flange
(97b) of the bobbin (40) which is disposed on the open end side
of the bobbin case holder (30) and the inner surface of an end
wall of the bobbin case (31), a bobbin thread (62) which is wound
around the bobbin (40) is led outside through the bobbin thread
leading hole (70) which is formed in the end wall (61) of the
bobbin case (31). When the bobbin thread (62) is led out as
sewing is started, since the bobbin (40) is held as it is
elastically pressed by the peripheral wall (60) of the bobbin
case (31) within the bobbin case holder (30), tension force of
the bobbin thread (62) prevents the bobbin (40) from getting
displaced within the bobbin case holder (30) in an axial line
direction, and hence, an inconvenience that the tension force
of the bobbin thread (62) varies is avoided, nonuniform fastening
of the thread does not result, and the quality of sewing is
improved.

Abstract: A toner image fixing apparatus has a fixing
roller, a pressing roller, and a heating roller. The
pressing roller is normally urged toward the fixing roller
for pressing a sheet with an unfixed toner image carried
on a surface thereof against the fixing roller to fix the
unfixed toner image to the sheet when the sheet passes in
one direction through a rolling contact region between the
fixing roller and the pressing roller. The heating roller
is disposed on one side of the fixing roller opposite to
the pressing roller. A first heat source is disposed in
the heating roller for heating the heating roller, and a
second heat source is disposed in the pressing roller for
heating the pressing roller. An endless heat transfer
belt is trained around the heating roller and the fixing
roller for transferring heat from the first heat source to
heat the unfixed toner image on the sheet when the sheet
passes through the rolling contact region. When the
apparatus is in a standby mode, a controller energizes the
first heat source and the second heat source. Then the
apparatus is in the sheet feed mode, the controller
energizes the first heat source, and also energizes the
second heat source only if the sheet is of a size larger
than a predetermined size.
