Abstract:
A heating unit includes a circuit board, a plurality of heating parts, and a plurality of wiring parts. The heating parts are arranged in a first direction on a surface of the circuit board. The wiring parts are provided on the surface of the circuit board and electrically connect the heating parts and a power source to feed the heating parts. The wiring parts respectively include electrode terminal parts electrically connected to the power source outside the heating parts in the first direction. Sizes in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction of the heating parts are set to decrease gradually or stepwisely with separating in the first direction from the electrode terminal parts.

Claim (Index 8):
The fixing device according to  claim 6 ,\n wherein the wiring parts include a common wiring part commonly connected to the heating parts from one side in a passing direction of the heating parts and a plurality of discrete wiring parts discretely connected to the heating parts from another side in the passing direction of the heating parts, wherein the common wiring part and the discrete wiring parts respectively include conductive paths that connect branching paths elongated in the passing direction to be connected to the heating parts with the electrode terminal parts, wherein the branching paths of the common wiring part and the discrete wiring parts are alternately arranged to dividedly form the heating parts, and wherein electric potential differences are generated between the branching paths, which causes electric current flows in opposite directions at the heating parts neighboring across each of the branching paths.
