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 15):
The fixing device according to  claim 14 , wherein\n the third beam portion includes\n a first holding portion in contact with an outer circumferential surface of the cam at the first position, \n a second holding portion located between the first holding portion and the second beam portion and in contact with the outer circumferential surface of the cam at the second position, and \n a third holding portion located between the second holding portion and the second beam portion and in contact with the outer circumferential surface of the cam at the fourth position, and \n the sixth beam portion includes\n a fourth holding portion in contact with the outer circumferential surface of the cam at the first position, \n a fifth holding portion located between the fourth holding portion and the fifth beam portion and in contact with the outer circumferential surface of the cam at the third position, and \n a sixth holding portion located between the fifth holding portion and the fifth beam portion and in contact with the outer circumferential surface of the cam at the fourth position.
