Abstract:
To switch between four nip modes, a cam is driven by a single drive to move between first to fourth positions. At the first position, a first nip between a first pressing body and a fixing member has a first width, and a second nip between a second pressing body and the fixing member has a second width. At the second position, the first nip has a third width smaller than the first width, and the second nip has a width greater than or equal to the second width. At the third position, the first nip has a width greater than or equal to the first width, and the second nip has a fourth width smaller than the second width. At the fourth position, the first nip has a fifth width smaller than the first width, and the second nip has a sixth width smaller than the second width.

Claim (Index 5):
The fixing device according to  claim 1 , wherein\n the first arm has a width in the axial direction of the third shaft that is greater than a distance between the first cam and the second cam, the second arm has a width in the axial direction of the third shaft that is greater than the distance between the first cam and the second cam, the first arm has a first opening at the same position as the second cam in the axial direction of the third shaft, the first opening being configured to receive the second cam, and the second arm has a second opening at the same position as the first cam in the axial direction of the third shaft, the second opening being configured to receive the first cam.
