Abstract:
To switch between four nip modes, a cam is driven by a single drive to move between first to fourth positions. At the first position, a first nip between a first pressing body and a fixing member has a first width, and a second nip between a second pressing body and the fixing member has a second width. At the second position, the first nip has a third width smaller than the first width, and the second nip has a width greater than or equal to the second width. At the third position, the first nip has a width greater than or equal to the first width, and the second nip has a fourth width smaller than the second width. At the fourth position, the first nip has a fifth width smaller than the first width, and the second nip has a sixth width smaller than the second width.

Claim (Index 17):
The fixing device according to  claim 13 , wherein\n the first arm includes a first protrusion located between the first pressing portion and the rotation center of the cam, the first protrusion protruding toward the second arm and having a first slope, the second arm includes a second protrusion located between the second pressing portion and the rotation center of the cam, the second protrusion protruding toward the first arm and having a second slope, the first slope of the first protrusion includes the first pressed portion, the second slope of the second protrusion includes the second pressed portion, and the first slope and the second slope are inclined with respect to a virtual line connecting a rotation center of the fixing member and the rotation center of the cam in a manner more away from each other toward the rotation center of the cam in a direction along the virtual line.
