Abstract:
A fixing unit includes a fixing portion including a rotatable heating member and a rotatable pressing member; a feeding portion including a first rotatable member and a second rotatable member; a main assembly; an openable member rotatably provided to the main assembly through a shaft and a bearing portion; an urging member; an engaging portion; and a portion-to-be-engaged. The openable member has a rotation center provided in a position where a direction of moment acting on the openable member by an urging force of the urging member is the same as a direction in which the openable member opens. The bearing portion includes an elongated hole having a long axis extending along an urging direction of the urging member.

Claim (Index 1):
A fixing unit comprising:\n a fixing portion including a rotatable heating member and a rotatable pressing member to form a first nip in cooperation with said rotatable heating member to fix an image on a recording material by heating the recording material carrying the image while nipping and feeding the recording material; a feeding portion provided downstream of said fixing portion with respect to a recording material feeding direction and including a first rotatable member and a second rotatable member to form a second nip in cooperation with said first rotatable member to nip and feed the recording material fed from said fixing portion; a main assembly rotatably supporting said rotatable heating member, said rotatable pressing member and said first rotatable member; an openable member rotatably supporting said second rotatable member and rotatably supported on said main assembly by a shaft and a bearing portion supporting said shaft, wherein when said openable member is opened relative to said main assembly, said second rotatable member is spaced from said first rotatable member, and when said openable member is closed relative to said main assembly, said second rotatable member contacts said first rotatable member; an urging member provided in said main assembly to urge said first rotatable member toward said second rotatable member; an engaging portion provided in said main assembly; and a portion-to-be-engaged provided on said openable member, wherein said portion-to-be-engaged is spaced from said engaging portion when said openable member is opened and is engaged with said engaging portion when said openable member is closed; wherein said openable member has a rotation center provided in a position where a direction of moment acting on said openable member by an urging force of said urging member is the same as a direction in which said openable member opens, and wherein said bearing portion includes an elongated hole having a long axis extending along an urging direction of said urging member.
