A fixing device is provided in which a rotation member and a roller are caused to rotate pressing against each other, a recording paper is sandwiched and transported in a nip region between the rotation member and the roller, a leading edge of a peeling plate is positioned with respect to a peripheral surface of the rotation member, and the recording paper is separated from the rotation member by the peeling plate. In this fixing device, a surface of the peeling plate faces a transport route of the recording paper. Furthermore, in this fixing device, a contact member is provided that contacts a rear surface of the peeling plate displaced in a direction in which the leading edge of the peeling plate approaches the peripheral surface of the rotation member and prohibits displacement of the peeling plate after contact of the peeling plate to the contact member.

The fixing apparatus is provided with a cleaning pad that is pressed against at least one of roller members composed of a fixing roller, a pressurizing roller and an external heating roller to clean a surface of the roller member, and the cleaning pad is composed of a pad member that cleans the surface of the roller member, and a support member that press the pad member against the surface of the roller member to support. The support member has a plurality of opening portions formed along a thrust direction of the roller member, and has a larger opening area per unit length of the support member at a center part of the support member than that at both edge parts thereof. For example, an interval of holes or slits is narrower at the center part of the support member than that at the both edge parts thereof.

A fixing device of the present invention includes a pressure roller and a peeling roller both of which press a heat roller. The pressure roller is disposed upstream to the peeling roller in a transport direction of a recording paper. An outer diameter of the heat roller, an outer diameter of the pressure roller, and an outer diameter of the peeling roller decrease in this order. With this arrangement, it is possible to realize a fixing device which achieves a reduced size and reduced power requirements, while ensuring a fixing property and a peeling property with respect to a recording medium.Further, with an arrangement in which the pressure roller and the peeling roller which press the heat roller are disposed so that, in a cross section orthogonal to central axes of the heat roller, the pressure roller, and the peeling roller, a first orthogonal line being orthogonal to a first line that connects a center of the heat roller and a center of the pressure roller and passing through a nip portion between both of the rollers, comes into contact with a contact area in a predetermined area on a peripheral surface of the peeling roller, a fixing device of the present invention can transport the recording paper without causing a paper jam when plural pieces of recording paper stacked are transported.

An ink supply device includes an ink tank for containing ink inside and a tank holder for holding the ink tank in a detachable manner. The tank holder includes a control tank, a circulation needle, and an air supply needle. The control tank allows the ink and air to circulate between the control tank and the ink tank so that the internal pressure of the ink tank attached has a predetermined value.

An electron emitting apparatus includes a lower electrode, an emitter section made of a dielectric material, a plurality of upper electrodes having micro through holes, and a collector electrode opposing the upper electrodes. In this electron-emitting apparatus, electrons are accumulated in the emitter section by controlling the potential difference (drive voltage) between the lower and upper electrodes with respect to the potential of the lower electrode to a negative predetermined voltage. At this time, the collector electrode of the electron-emitting apparatus is grounded. Thus, unnecessary electron-emitting is suppressed. Subsequently, the drive voltage is changed to a positive predetermined voltage. As a result, polarization reversal occurs in the emitter section, and accumulated electros are emitted through the micro through holes in the upper electrodes by Coulomb repulsion. At this time, a positive voltage Vc is applied to the collector electrode to give large energy to accelerate the electrons.

An electron-emitting apparatus includes an element having a lower electrode, an emitter section composed of a dielectric material, and an upper electrode having a plurality of micro through holes: and a drive voltage applying circuit having a power supply and a circuit that applies a voltage generated by the power supply between the lower electrode and the upper electrode. In order to emit electrons accumulated in the emitter section, the power supply generates a voltage gradually increasing from a first voltage to a second voltage. In order to accumulate electrons In the emitter section, the power supply generates a voltage gradually decreasing from the second voltage to the first voltage. A rapid change in element voltage and excessive element current can thereby be avoided, and unnecessary electron emission can be prevented.

A fuel supplying device for an internal combustion engine having a fuel supply passage (4) for introducing fuel fed from a fuel pump (2) at a substantially constant pressure to a fuel injector (9) operative at a predetermined constant pressure. The fuel injector is installed at a congregated portion (7) of engine intake manifolds (8). A metering valve (11) includes a motor (13) so that drop is maintained substantially constant by a differential regulator (12). The metering valve is disposed in an intermediate portion of the fuel supply passage. Calculating means (15) including a servo signal generator (18) calculates an injection flow amount causing a predetermined air/fuel ratio on the basis of signals of various engine running factors. An operational signal output from the servo signal generating circuit of the calculating means is applied to the drive motor means for driving said metering valve to thereby inject fuel into the intake manifolds.
