Abstract:
A fixing device according to an embodiment includes a first rotating body, a pressing unit, and an urging member. The pressing unit includes a belt, a second rotating body, a belt supporting member, and a pushing member. The pushing member includes a pressing region for pressing the belt toward the first rotating body. The pushing member is disposed between the second rotating body and the belt supporting member. The pressing unit is capable of switching a pressing position and a release position. When viewed from the axial direction of the first rotating body, a line connecting the center of the first rotating body and the center of the turning fulcrum passes the pressing region of the pushing member in both of the pressing position and the release position.

Claim (Index 1):
A fixing device comprising:\n a first rotating body heated by a heat source; a pressing unit comprising a belt opposed to an outer circumferential surface of the first rotating body, a second rotating body around an outer circumference surface of which the belt is wound, a belt supporting member around an outer circumferential surface of which the belt is wound, and a pushing member comprising a pressing region for pressing the belt toward the first rotating body, the pushing member disposed between the second rotating body and the belt supporting member; the pressing unit configured to switch a pressing position in which the pressing unit turns around a turning fulcrum present in a position away from the first rotating body to thereby press the belt against the first rotating body with the second rotating body and a release position in which the pressing unit releases the pressing by the second rotating body; and when viewed from an axial direction of the first rotating body, a straight line connects a center of the first rotating body and a center of the turning fulcrum passing the pressing region of the pushing member in both of the pressing position and the release position; an urging member configured to urge the pressing unit in the pressing position; and a pressurizing mechanism configured to urge the pushing member toward the first rotating body in both of the pressing position and the release position of the second rotating body.
