Abstract:
A fusing device of which a lifespan may be increased by stably supplying a lubricant to a fusing belt, and an image forming apparatus including the same are provided. The fusing device includes: a fusing roller configured to be rotatable; a fusing belt configured to be circumscribed to the fusing roller to be driven and rotated by the fusing roller; a nip forming member configured to be inscribed to the fusing belt to form a nip at a contact portion of the fusing roller; a lubricant supplying unit configured to include a lubricant accommodating portion provided at one side of the nip forming member and storing a lubricant and an impregnating member impregnating the lubricant from the lubricant accommodating portion and supplying the lubricant to an inner surface of the fusing belt; and a fixing member configured to be fixedly installed between the impregnating member and the nip forming member to prevent the impregnating member from being separated from the nip forming member due to the rotation of the fusing belt.

Claim (Index 20):
An image forming apparatus, comprising:\n a photoreceptor on which an electrostatic latent image is formed;\n a developing unit configured to supply a toner to the electrostatic latent image to form a visible toner image on a recording medium; and \n the fusing device as claimed in  claim 18  configured to apply heat and pressure to the toner image transferred to the recording medium to fuse the toner image.
