Abstract: A fixing device includes a fixing roller, a pressure roller, and a regulation member. The fixing roller includes a roller member and a fixing belt. The roller member includes a shaft which extends in one direction and an elastic layer integrally formed on the shaft. Each regulation member has an annular regulation surface which opposes a side edge of the fixing belt, and is configured to regulate movement of the fixing belt in a rotation axis direction. The regulation surface is inclined relative to a line perpendicular to the rotation axis as viewed on a cross-section parallel to the rotation axis. The regulation surface is inclined from the rotation axis side such that the closer the regulation surface is to an outside, in a radial direction, of the fixing roller, the closer the regulation surface is to a center, in a length direction, of the shaft.

Abstract translation: 固定装置包括定影辊，压力辊和调节构件。 定影辊包括辊构件和定影带。 辊构件包括沿一个方向延伸的轴和一体地形成在轴上的弹性层。 每个调节构件具有与定影带的侧边相对的环形调节表面，并且构造成调节定影带在旋转轴线方向上的运动。 在平行于旋转轴线的横截面上观察时，调节表面相对于垂直于旋转轴线的线倾斜。 调节面从旋转轴侧倾斜，使得调节面越靠近定影辊的径向外侧，调节面越靠近轴的长度方向的中心 。
