Abstract:
To provide a roller device that can improve the life of a cleaning member and that enables a cleaning member to perform a cleaning operation even when a contact-pressure release operation is performed to release the contact-pressure of the second roller on the first roller and to provide a fixing device and an image forming apparatus. The cleaning member is disposed to be opposite to the first roller with the second roller being provided therebetween. Compared to a case when the second roller is placed at a first position on a side of the first roller, if the second roller is placed at a second position on a side of the cleaning roller, a pressure between the second roller and the first roller becomes smaller, and a pressure between the second roller and the cleaning member becomes larger.

Claim (Index 2):
The fixing device according to  claim 1 , wherein\n the predetermined relationship according to the position to which the second roller is driven swingingly is such that when the second roller is driven swingingly to a first position on a side of the first roller, the pressure between the second roller and the first roller is a first roller pressure and the pressure between the second roller and the cleaning member is a first cleaning pressure, and when the second roller is driven swingingly to a second position on a side of the cleaning member, the pressure between the second roller and the first roller is a second roller pressure less than the first roller pressure, and the pressure between the second roller and the cleaning member is a second cleaning pressure larger than the first cleaning pressure.
