Abstract:
A fixing device includes a heat generating member extending in a longitudinal direction and having a first region and a second region, an endless belt, an opposing member opposing the endless belt, a heat conductive member extending in the longitudinal direction within the first region in which a surface of the heat conductive member contacts the heat generating member, a positioning portion extending from an end portion of the surface, an electric power shut-off member provided at a position corresponding to the second region, and a supporting member provided with an opening at a position corresponding to the second region and configured to support the heat generating member through the heat conductive member. The opening is configured to permit insertion of the positioning portion to prevent movement of the heat conductive member.

Claim (Index 1):
A fixing device comprising:\n an elongated heat generating member extending in a longitudinal direction and having a first region and a second region different in the longitudinal direction; an endless belt rotatable in contact with said heat generating member; an opposing member opposing said endless belt and configured to form a nip in cooperation with said endless belt so that a recording material on which a toner image is carried is nipped and fed in the nip; a heat conductive member extending in the longitudinal direction within the first region in which a surface of said heat conductive member contacts said heat generating member; a positioning portion extending from an end portion of the surface of said heat conductive member with respect to the longitudinal direction, in a direction in which said positioning portion is spaced from said heat generating member; an electric power shut-off member provided at a position corresponding to the second region of said heat generating member and configured to shut off electric power supplied to said heat generating member; and a supporting member provided with an opening at a position corresponding to the second region and configured to support said heat generating member through said heat conductive member, wherein said opening is configured to permit insertion of said positioning portion to prevent movement of said heat conductive member.
