Abstract:
A fixing device has a fixing member, a pressing member, a pressing mechanism, a pressure changing mechanism, and a moving mechanism. The fixing member has a fixing belt. The pressing member forms a fixing nip portion by making contact with the fixing member. The pressing mechanism presses the pressing member against the fixing member to apply a nip pressure to the fixing nip portion. The pressure changing mechanism changes the nip pressure. The moving mechanism moves the fixing member in a sheet width direction which is perpendicular to a sheet conveying direction. The pressing mechanism has a holding member rotatably holding the pressing member and held swingably in such directions as to approach and recede from the fixing member. The moving mechanism moves the fixing member in the sheet width direction in coordination with the nip pressure being applied or removed by the pressure changing mechanism.

Claim (Index 5):
The fixing device according to  claim 4 , wherein\n the middle gears are provided with a one-way clutch transmitting the driving force from the swing gear to the eccentric cam only when the swing gear turns in a predetermined direction.
