摘要:
A recording-material cooling device (9) includes a belt conveyance unit (30) that includes a first cooling unit (33a) and a second cooling unit (33b) to cool a recording material conveyed in a transport direction by a first belt (56) and a second belt (59). The first cooling unit (33a) is disposed at a first face side of the material and has a first heat absorbing surface (34a, 34b, 34c). The second cooling unit (33b) is disposed at a second face side opposite the first face side and has a second heat absorbing surface (34a, 34b, 34c). Each of the first and second heat absorbing surfaces (34a, 34b, 34c) has an inner area protruding outward beyond both ends thereof in the transport direction. The first and second heat absorbing surfaces (34a, 34b, 34c) are arranged to overlap each other in a direction crossing the transport direction.

A fixing device includes a tubular belt holder, a rotatable, flexible fuser belt, a heater, a fuser pad, a pressure member, and a reinforcing member. The fuser belt is looped for rotation around the belt holder. The heater is disposed adjacent to the belt holder to heat the belt holder. The fuser pad is accommodated in the belt holder inside the loop of the fuser belt, and extends in an axial direction of the belt holder. The pressure member is disposed opposite the belt holder with the fuser belt interposed between the fuser pad and the pressure member. The reinforcing member is disposed inside the loop of the fuser belt to reinforce the fuser pad under pressure from the pressure member. The fuser pad includes an elongated base, multiple longitudinally spaced protrusions, a perforated, anti-friction cover, and a fastener.

A fixing device (20) includes a pressing member (31) pressed against a fixing member (21) to form a nip (N) between the pressing member (31) and the fixing member (21) through which a recording medium bearing a toner image passes. A heater support (23) provided inside the fixing member (21) supports a laminated heater (22). The laminated heater (22) is provided between the fixing member (21) and the heater support (23) and includes a flexible, first heat generation sheet (22s) that includes an insulating base layer (22a), at least one resistant heat generation layer (22b) provided on the base layer (22a) to generate heat, and at least one electrode layer (22c) provided on the base layer (22a) to supply power to the at least one resistant heat generation layer (22b).

A fixing device (20) includes a tubular belt holder (27), a rotatable flexible fuser belt (21), a contact member (26), a pressure member (31), and a heater (22). The belt holder extends in an axial direction thereof The fuser belt is looped around the belt holder extending in the axial direction. The contact member has a central axis thereof extending in the axial direction, accommodated in the belt holder. The pressure member has a central axis thereof extending in the axial direction, disposed opposite the belt holder with the fuser belt interposed between the contact member and the pressure member. The pressure member presses against the contact member through the fuser belt to form a fixing nip. The heater is disposed adjacent to the belt holder to heat a circumferential portion of the fuser belt. The belt holder includes a generally semi-cylindrical section (S1) to face the heated circumferential portion of the fuser belt.

A fixing device includes a frame, a tubular belt holder, a rotatable, flexible fuser belt, a heater, a fuser pad, a pressure member, and a mounting attachment. The tubular belt holder extends in an axial direction thereof. The fuser belt is looped into a generally cylindrical configuration around the belt holder to rotate in a circumferential direction of the belt holder. The heater is disposed adjacent to the belt holder to heat the belt holder. The fuser pad is accommodated in the belt holder inside the loop of the fuser belt, and extends in the axial direction. The pressure member is disposed opposite the belt holder with the fuser belt interposed between the fuser pad and the pressure member. The mounting attachment is provided to a longitudinal end of the tubular belt holder to allow retention and detachable attachment of the belt holder end to the frame.
