An image heating device comprises a cylindrical heating roller with a Curie temperature of 210° C., a magnetization coil for magnetizing the heating roller with an alternating magnetic field, which is arranged inside the heating roller, and a nip portion for heating a recording material that carriers a toner image with heat from the heating roller, while the recording material is being conveyed along said nip portion. The ratio between the amount of heat generated in said heat-generating member at Curie temperature or higher to the amount of heat generated at room temperature in said heat-generating member is not more than ½. With this configuration, the heating roller can regulate its own temperature to stabilize at a temperature that is suitable for fixing, and the problems of partial overheating or underheating, unstable heat generation, or damage of the device can be eliminated.

An image heating device having a predetermined amount of heat generation with a small electric current. The device includes a heat-generating roller (1) having magnetism and conductivity, an exciting coil (5) opposed to the peripheral face of the heat-generating roller (1) and adapted for allowing the heat-generating roller (1) to generate heat with electromagnetic induction. The exciting coil (5) is composed of a bundle of 60 copper wires of a 0.2 mm diameter are extended in the direction of the rotation axis of the heat-generating roller (1) and they are circumferentially wound along the circumferential direction of the heat-generating roller (1). The bundled wires are arranged in close contact with each other in the circumferential direction of the heat-generating roller (1) so as to cover the upper half of the heat-generating roller (1).

A toner layer forming device is used for a developing device of an electrophotographic device, in which a toner holding member rotates in a predetermined direction while holding on its surface a nonmagnetic toner containing a detachant. A rotary toner layer control member whose surface rotates in the reverse direction to the surface of the toner holding member while contacting the surface with the surface of the toner holding member is provided in order to control the nonmagnetic toner layer. A toner removing member partially contacts with the surface of the rotary toner layer control member in order to scrape off the nonmagnetic toner held on the rotary toner layer control member, so that the toner on the rotary toner layer control member can be removed smoothly and a stable toner layer can be formed.

An oil application roller unit including a holder having at least a shaft or bearings, an oil application roller rotatably supported by the holder, and an oil leakage prevention film closely wound around the oil application roller to pack the roller and capable of being pulled out. By pulling the oil leakage prevention film while the oil application roller remains installed in the holder, the oil application roller is rotated, and the oil leakage prevention film can be removed. Since the user is not required to make contact with the oil application roller at the time of unpacking, the hands of the user are not stained. Unpacking can thus be attained safely.
