摘要:
An image heating apparatus includes: a heater including a substrate and a heat generating element; a supporting member; a high heat-conductive member. The recording material on which an image is formed is heated by heat from the heater. The supporting member has a bottom region, where the supporting member supports the heater, including a first region where the supporting member contacts the high heat-conductive member so as to apply pressure between the heater and the high heat-conductive member and including a second region where the supporting member is recessed from the high heat-conductive member relative to the first region. At least a part of the first region overlaps, with respect to a movement direction of the recording material, with a region where the heat generating element is provided.

An image heating apparatus includes: a heater (300) including a substrate and a heat generating element (301); a supporting member (201); a high heat-conductive member (220). The recording material on which an image is formed is heated by heat from the heater. The supporting member has a bottom region, where the supporting member supports the heater, including a first region where the supporting member contacts the high heat-conductive member so as to apply pressure between the heater and the high heat-conductive member and including a second region where the supporting member is recessed from the high heat-conductive member relative to the first region. At least a part of the first region overlaps, with respect to a movement direction of the recording material, with a region where the heat generating element is provided.

摘要:
An electrophotographic image forming apparatus to which a cartridge (B) is detachably mountable for forming an image on a recording medium, having a main body electrical contact member (161,163,164) with a main body electrical contact (161a,163a,164a) electrically connected to a cartridge electrical contact (188a,189a,160a) of the cartridge in order to supply electric power to an electric power supplied member of the cartridge when the cartridge is mounted on the apparatus main body, whereby the main body electrical contact is movable relative to the apparatus main body, and having an electrical contact cover member (151,153,154) with an exposed portion (151a,153a,154) for exposing the main body electrical contact, yet, covering the main body electrical contact member, and attached to the main body electrical contact member so that the exposed portion is movable relative to the main body electrical contact member, wherein in operative association with mounting the cartridge on the apparatus main body or demounting it therefrom, the electrical contact cover member is moved relative to the main body electrical contact member so that the cartridge electrical contact and the main body electrical contact are electrically connected together in the exposed portion.
