Abstract:
A fixing device includes a heating body, a pressurizing body, a separation claw, and a supporting member. The heating body heats a medium where a toner image is formed while the heating body rotates around a shaft. The pressurizing body forms a nip with the heating body and applies pressure to the medium that passes through the nip while the pressurizing body rotates around a shaft. The separation claw includes a protrusion that contacts the medium after having passed through the nip and separates the medium from the heating body. The supporting member supports the separation claw in state of causing the separation claw into contact with the heating body. The supporting member supports the separation claw while the supporting member causes the separation claw to slide in a direction separating from the heating body when the medium is brought into contact with the protrusion to press the protrusion.

Claim (Index 1):
A fixing device comprising:\n a heating body that heats a medium where a toner image is formed while the heating body rotates around a shaft; a pressurizing body that forms a nip with the heating body and applies pressure to the medium that passes through the nip while the pressurizing body rotates around a shaft; a separation claw that includes a protrusion that contacts the medium after having passed through the nip, the separation claw separating the medium from the heating body; and a supporting member that supports the separation claw in a state of causing the separation claw into contact with the heating body, wherein the supporting member supports the separation claw while the supporting member causes the separation claw to slide in a direction separating from the heating body when the medium is brought into contact with the protrusion to press the protrusion.
