Abstract:
In a fixing device according to the disclosure, a first surface of a restriction member is inclined so that, as the first surface goes further away from a nip portion, the first surface inclines toward a direction coming closer to an edge surface of the film, and the first surface is inclined so that, as the first surface comes downstream in the conveying direction, the first surface inclines toward a direction going further away from the edge surface of the film. A second surface is inclined so that, as the second surface comes closer to a center in the rotational axis direction of the film, the second surface inclines toward a direction coming closer to a roller, and inclines in a direction going downstream in the conveying direction.

Claim (Index 5):
The fixing device according to  claim 1 , further comprising:\n a supporting member configured to support the nip portion forming member from a surface of the nip portion forming member on an opposite side of the surface of the nip portion forming member that is in contact with the film; and a reinforcing member configured to reinforce the supporting member, wherein the restriction member is positioned relative to the reinforcing member so that the first and second surfaces are inclined.
