摘要： A disk (6) is horizontally rotated a half-turn by a motor (7) in a rotational direction and, then, is rotated a half-turn in an opposite rotational direction. Two servomotors (8, 9) are symmetrically disposed, on an upper surface of the disk (6), with respect to a rotating shaft of the disk (6). Driving shafts (22, 23), driven by the two servomotors (8, 9), downwardly extend through the disk (6), and move hanging members (K, M), respectively, in upward-and-downward directions. Two hanging members (K, M) are provided, at their lower ends, with clampers (32), respectively. The clampers (32) are each provided, at their bottom surfaces, with a suction pad (35), and are provided, at their upper surfaces, with pneumatic cylinders (28, 29). The pressure of the compressed air supplied to the pneumatic cylinder is adjusted by a pressure regulating device (38).

The enclosing material includes a first cover sheet and a second cover sheet bonded together in their peripheral portions to provide a space therebetween in which the heat generating member is placed. The heat generating element in the space is in a non-fixed state to the enclosing material. The first cover sheet has air permeability in part and is disposed on the side of the layer of the heat generative composition.

摘要： A fixing device includes an exciting coil to generate a magnetic flux and a heat generation layer disposed opposite the exciting coil to generate heat by the magnetic flux from the exciting coil. A temperature sensitive magnetic body, disposed opposite the exciting coil via the heat generation layer, obtains and loses magnetism at a temperature defined by a Curie temperature by composition adjustment to selectively create a heating region and a non-heating region of the heat generation layer. A degausser is made of a non-magnetic material having an electrical resistivity smaller than an electrical resistivity of the temperature sensitive magnetic body. The degausser is disposed opposite the exciting coil with an interval in a range of from about 4.2 mm to about 8.2 mm.

摘要： A fixing device fixes a toner image on a recording medium by heating the recording medium, with a heating area and a non-heating area selected in accordance with a magnetic flux and a repulsive magnetic flux. The fixing device includes a heat generating layer, an exciting coil, and a demagnetizing member. The heat generating layer generates heat. The exciting coil generates the magnetic flux, and thereby inductively heats the heat generating layer. The demagnetizing member faces the heat generating layer in the non-heating area. The demagnetizing member generates the repulsive magnetic flux against the magnetic flux generated by the exciting coil, and thereby demagnetizes the magnetic flux and suppresses the heating. Further, the demagnetizing member has a demagnetization effect different between at least a portion of the non-heating area adjacent to the heating area and the remaining portion of the non-heating area.

A moving assembly is disposed opposite the heat generator to generate a magnetic force to move the heat generator with respect to the fixing rotary body so as to change one of a pressure and a distance between the heat generator and the fixing rotary body.
