Patent ID: 7442905

Claim:
An image heating apparatus comprising: a magnetic flux generating device configured to generate magnetic flux; a rotatable heat generating member for generating heat by a magnetic flux generated by said magnetic flux generating device to heat an image on a recording material; a magnetic flux adjusting member having portions to be supported at both end portions and disposed between said magnetic flux generating device and said heat generating member, for adjusting a distribution, with respect to a rotational axis direction of said heat generating member, of the magnetic flux directing from said magnetic flux generating device toward said heat generating member; and a moving device for moving said magnetic flux adjusting member rotationally to a predetermined position, wherein said magnetic flux adjusting member has a cut-away portion, and a central portion of a non-cut-away portion of said magnetic flux adjusting member to be opposed to said heat generating member is recessed in a direction to a rotational center of said magnetic flux adjusting member and away from said heat generation member as compared with said end portions of said magnetic flux adjusting member to be opposed to said heat generating member.
