Abstract:
An image heating apparatus includes a frame including a first side plate and a second side plate, a cylindrical rotatable member, a heater, a holder having a length longer than a distance between the first and second side plates, a first preventing member, and a second preventing member. An image formed on a recording material is heated by heat of the heater while moving in a state in which the recording material contacts the rotatable member. The holder is unintegral with the first and second preventing members. The holder includes a positioning portion, contacting the first side plate, for positioning a position of the holder with respect to the longitudinal direction.

Claim (Index 20):
An image heating apparatus comprising:\n a frame including a first side plate provided at one end portion and a second side plate provided at another end portion with respect to a longitudinal direction of said image heating apparatus; a cylindrical rotatable member provided between said first and second side plates; a heater contacting an inner surface of said rotatable member, wherein an image formed on a recording material is heated by heat of said heater while moving in a state in which the recording material contacts said rotatable member; and a holder for holding said heater, said holder being provided in an inside space of said rotatable member, and with respect to the longitudinal direction, a length of said holder is greater than a distance between said first side plate and said second side plate, wherein said holder has a first positioning portion for positioning said holder relative to said first side plate in the longitudinal direction and in a recording material conveying direction, and a second positioning portion for positioning said holder relative to said second side plate in the recording material conveying direction, and wherein said second positioning portion has no positioning function relative to said second side plate in the longitudinal direction.
