Abstract:
An image heating apparatus includes a pair of rotatable members at least one of which is an endless belt, the rotatable members forming a nip for hitting a toner image on a sheet; a first pad member and a second pad member provided along a feeding direction of the sheet and configured to urge the at least one of the endless belts toward the other one of the rotatable members from a inside of the at least one of the endless belts; a moving mechanism configured to move the second pad member to selectively contact both of the first pad member and the second pad member to the endless belt or contact only the first pad member to the endless belt; and a single sheet-like member slidable relative to an inner surface of the endless belt.
