摘要： A heating apparatus such as a microwave oven in which thermal energy of high-temperature vapor generated by heating an object is detected by a pyroelectric element and a resulting detection signal is used to control (stop) a heat source such as a microwave source, etc. Among AC voltages generated by the pyroelectric element due to heat exchange of the pyroelectric element, a voltage of a polarity generated at the time of heat discharge (temperature decrease) of the pyroelectric element is selected through a circuit means. A voltage generated by heat exchange between air moving slowly in a heating chamber and the pyroelectric element caused by the rotation of a turntable or the like is eliminated by another circuit means. A control section controls the operation of the heat source by deciding an output signal of the pyroelectric element by comparing it with a detection level determined in accordance with a noise level for a predetermined length of time after the start of the heating operation. Erroneous detection is thus prevented which otherwise might be caused by a noise voltage generated in the pyroelectric element by the thermal energy of a hot air staying in the heating chamber after the energization of the heat source or second heat source.

摘要： A copy storing tray for storing copy paper sheets, including a paper detection device, a pair of side regulating plates for regulating the lateral position of the copy paper sheets, at least one of which is movably provided so as to be displaced in a lateral direction, and an actuator device for displacing at least one of the side regulating plates. As each of the copy paper sheets is supplied to the copy storing tray, one of the side regulating plates is displaced in the lateral direction by the actuator device so as to displace each of the copy paper sheets to a predetermined position such that each of the copy paper sheets is not detected by the paper detection device.

摘要： A recording material conveying device includes a stripping claw being in contact with one rotary body of a first pair of rotary bodies, and a supporting member supporting a recording material curved when a jam occurs. The supporting member includes a supporting section located more away from the stripping claw than an imaginary straight line (C) passing a nip portion of the first pair of rotary bodies and a surface on a conveying path's side of the stripping claw, and the supporting section supports the recording material curved when the jam occurs. The recording material conveying device further includes a conveyance guide that is disposed on the downstream side from the supporting member and is displaced toward a pressed direction by a pressing force acting when the curved recording material comes into contact with the conveyance guide.

摘要： A fixing device of the present invention includes: an external heating belt which is to contact with a surface of a fixing roller so as to heat up the fixing roller; and a cleaning member (a scraper and/or cleaning pad) which is to contact with the external heating belt. The cleaning pad which is impregnated with silicone oil is to contact with a surface of the external heating belt, thereby applying the silicone oil (release agent) to the surface of the external heating belt. This makes it possible to prevent generation of an offset.
