There is provided a fixing device for thermally fixing a developing agent image to a sheet. The fixing device includes a tubular flexible member, a heater, a nip member and a backup member. The tubular flexible member has an inner peripheral surface defining an internal space. The heater is disposed within the internal space and is configured to generate a radiant heat. The nip member is disposed within the internal space and is configured to receive the radiant heat from the heater, the inner peripheral surface being in sliding contact with the nip member, and the nip member being electrically conductive and the tubular flexible member being grounded via the nip member. The backup member is configured to provide a nip region in cooperation with the nip member for nipping the tubular flexible member between the backup member and the nip member.

There is provided a fixing device for thermally fixing a developing agent image to a sheet. The fixing device includes a tubular flexible member, a nip member, a backup member and a restricting member. The tubular flexible member has an inner peripheral surface defining an internal space and an outer peripheral surface opposite to the inner peripheral surface, the tubular flexible member defining an axis extending in an axial direction. The nip member is disposed within the internal space. The backup member is configured to provide a nip region in cooperation with the nip member for nipping the tubular flexible member between the backup member and the nip member. The restricting member is configured to restrict the tubular flexible member from moving in the axial direction, the restricting member having a base section, an inner guide protruding inward from the base section in the axial direction for guiding the inner peripheral surface and an outer guide protruding inward from the base section in the axial direction for guiding the outer peripheral surface, the inner guide having a portion whose protruding end is positioned inward of a protruding end of the outer guide in the axial direction.

In a fixing device for thermally fixing a developer image transferred onto a recording sheet, a nip plate is disposed on an inner surface of a tubular flexible fusing member which is flexibly deformable in such a manner that permits the fusing member to slide along the nip plate, and configured to be heated by a heating element disposed inside the fusing member. The fusing member is nipped between the nip plate and a backup member to form a nip portion between the fusing member and the backup member. The nip plate is bent to form a recessed portion which opens on the inner surface of the fusing member and holds a lubricant.

A fixing device for thermally fixing a developing agent image to a sheet includes a tubular flexible fusing member, a nip plate, a heater, a reflection plate, and a backup member. The tubular flexible fusing member has an inner peripheral surface defining an internal space and an axis defining an axial direction. The nip plate is disposed in the internal space, and the inner peripheral surface is in sliding contact with the nip plate. A heater is disposed in the internal space and confronts the nip plate in a confronting direction. The heater includes a glass tube, a heat source provided in the glass tube, and a gas sealed in the glass tube. The glass tube includes a glass tube body and a tip portion protruding radially outwardly from the glass tube body for sealing the gas in the glass tube body. The tip portion protrudes in a predetermined direction to define a cross-sectional length of the glass tube in the confronting direction greater than a cross-sectional length of the glass tube in a perpendicular direction extending perpendicular to the confronting direction and the axial direction, and the cross-section includes the tip portion. The reflection plate is configured to reflect a radiant heat from the heater toward the nip plate. A backup member is configured to provide a nip region in cooperation with the nip plate for nipping the fusing member between the backup member and the nip plate.

A facsimile apparatus can automatically register its own facsimile number into TTI, the own facsimile number being previously registered in the facsimile apparatus. In the facsimile apparatus, information containing the own facsimile number is input to the facsimile apparatus. The input own facsimile number is automatically incorporated into transmitter terminal identification (TTI) information as information regarding a transmitting end.

A cylindrical fuel injector (1) has a projecting part (2) projecting in a lateral direction. A cylinder head (5) has a hole (18) for inserting the fuel injector (1). An elastic member (6) is formed in a cylindrical shape with a notch to have a C-shaped cross-section. The elastic member (6) is fitted to the fuel injector (1) on the opposite side from the projecting part (2) to elastically support the fuel injector (1) in a state where a tip (1a) of the fuel injector (1) is inserted into the hole (18). A support member (3) supports the elastic member (6) and a snap ring (16) prevents deformation of the elastic member (6) in a lateral direction with respect to an axis of the fuel injector (1) under a compressive load exerted by the engine member (5) and the support member (3).

A fixing device includes a tubular fusing film, a heater, a nip member, a backup member, a backup member, first supporting member, and a second supporting member. The heater may be disposed inside the tubular shape of the fusing film. The nip member may be disposed so as to be in sliding contact with the inner surface of the fusing film and heated by the heater. The backup member may form a nip portion between the backup member and the fusing film with the fusing film between the backup member and the nip member. The first supporting member may be configured to integrally support the heater and the nip member. The second supporting member may be configured to movably support the first supporting member so that the nip member moves relative to the backup member.

A fixing device for thermally fixing a developing agent image to a sheet fed in a sheet feeding direction includes: a tubular flexible member; a nip member; a heater; a reflection member; a backup member; and a temperature sensor. The tubular flexible member has an inner peripheral surface defining an internal space. The nip member is disposed in the internal space and has one surface and opposite surface. The inner peripheral surface is in contact with the one surface. The heater is disposed in the internal space and confronts the nip member in a confronting direction. The reflection member is configured to reflect a radiant heat from the heater toward the nip member. The backup member is configured to provide a nip region in cooperation with the nip member for nipping the tubular flexible member between the backup member and the nip member. The temperature sensor is disposed in the internal space and is configured to detect a temperature of the nip member. The temperature sensor is positioned outside of the reflection member and in confrontation with the opposite surface.
