Abstract:
An image heating apparatus includes a plurality of heat generating elements, a plurality of temperature detecting elements, and an energization controlling portion for selectively controlling, based on the temperature detected by each of the plurality of temperature detecting elements, electrical power to be supplied to the plurality of heat generating elements. The plurality of temperature detecting elements are arranged in each of the plurality of heat generating elements, and the energization controlling portion controls electrical power supply to the plurality of heat generating elements for the purpose of heating a non-sheet-passing heating region, through which a recording material does not pass, among the plurality of heating regions, based on a temperature detected by a temperature detecting element that is farthest from a conveyance reference position of the recording material, among the plurality of temperature detecting elements arranged in the non-sheet-passing heating region.

Claim (Index 2):
The image heating apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the energization controlling portion controls, based on the temperature detected by the temperature detecting element farthest from the conveyance reference position, electric power supply to the plurality of heat generating elements for the purpose of heating the non-sheet-passing heating region, with a target temperature being a temperature lower than a target temperature for heating a sheet-passing heating region, through which the recording material passes, among the plurality of heating regions.
