Abstract:
A roller usable in an image fixing device for an electrophotographic image forming apparatus includes a first elastic layer; a second elastic layer provided closer to a center of the roller than the first elastic layer, the second elastic layer having a thermal conductivity in a thickness direction higher than that of the first elastic layer; a third elastic layer provided between the first elastic layer and the second elastic layer, wherein an indentation elastic modulus EIT 1  of the first elastic layer, an indentation elastic modulus EIT 2  of the second elastic layer, and an indentation elastic modulus of the third elastic layer satisfy E IT1 <E IT3 <I IT2 .

Claim (Index 1):
A roller usable in a fixing device for fixing, on a recording material, an unfixed toner image formed thereon, said roller comprising:\n a first elastic layer; a second elastic layer provided closer to a center of said roller than said first elastic layer, said second elastic layer having a thermal conductivity in a thickness direction higher than that of said first elastic layer; a third elastic layer provided between said first elastic layer and said second elastic layer, wherein an indentation elastic modulus EIT 1  of said first elastic layer, an indentation elastic modulus EIT 2  of said second elastic layer, and an indentation elastic modulus of said third elastic layer satisfy, E IT1 <E IT3 <E IT2 .
