Abstract:
In an image heating device having a plurality of heating blocks which are controllable independently in a longitudinal direction of a heater, an increase of the size of the heater can be suppressed, and temperatures of a plurality of heating block can be detected. A heater has a first temperature sensor corresponding to a first heating block, a second temperature sensor corresponding to a second heating block, a first electric conductor electrically coupled to the first temperature sensor, a second electric conductor electrically coupled to the second temperature sensor, and a common electric conductor electrically coupled to the first and second temperature sensors.

Claim (Index 1):
A heater for use in an image heating device, the heater comprising:\n a substrate; a first heating block provided on the substrate and configured to generate heat from electric power supplied thereto; a second heating block provided at a position different from the position of the first heating block in a longitudinal direction of the substrate and configured to separately control the first heating block; a first temperature sensor provided at a position corresponding to the first heating block; a second temperature sensor provided at a position corresponding to the second heating block; a first conductive pattern electrically coupled to the first temperature sensor; a second conductive pattern electrically coupled to the second temperature sensor; and a common conductive pattern electrically coupled to the first and second temperature sensors.
