Abstract:
A fixing device includes a cylindrical film; a contact member, a nip forming member, and a regulating member provided at a longitudinal end portion of the film and including an inner surface regulating surface. As viewed in a longitudinal direction of the film, with respect to a rotational direction of the film, the inner surface regulating surface includes a first region remotest from the nip and a second region closer to the nip than the first region is. The inner surface regulating surface is inclined so as to be spaced from the inner surface of the film toward a longitudinal center of the film with respect to a longitudinal direction of the film, and a degree of inclination of the inner surface regulating surface is larger in the first region than in the second region.

Claim (Index 4):
A fixing device according to  claim 1 , wherein with respect to the longitudinal direction of said film, an inclination angle of said inner surface regulating surface in the first region is 1.5 degrees or more.
