摘要:
A belt fixing unit, an image forming apparatus, and a toner material are disclosed capable of obviating undesirable fixing belt deformation and low image quality. The belt fixing unit includes a fixing roller, a heating roller, a fixing belt, and a pressing roller in contact with the fixing roller to form a fixing nip having the fixing belt intervening there between, the fixing belt including at least a base member formed of a heat-resisting resin having a thickness of 90 μm or smaller and acted upon by a tensile force of 0.49 N/mm or less. The toner is a low-melting point toner formed by subjecting a toner preparatory solution containing at least a prepolymer having a functional group containing a nitrogen atom, a polyester, a colorant and a releasing agent dispersed in an organic solvent to extension and/or crosslinking reactions in an aqueous medium.

摘要:
It is an object of the present invention to provide a fixing apparatus with which the movement of heat to the fixing belt during warm-up is suppressed, and the time it takes for the heating roller temperature to rise can be shortened, by reducing the contact surface area between the fixing belt and the heating roller, and an image formation apparatus that makes use of this fixing apparatus, and a toner used therein. A separation member provided on the inside of the fixing belt forms a pair with a tension roller, and a switching device for switching the positions thereof switches the positions when a set temperature is detected by temperature sensing device installed on the heating roller, so that the contact surface area of the fixing belt on the heating roller is different during warm-up and during fixing.

摘要:
The compound lens is composed of a glass made lens that has a first curved surface portion and a synthetic resin made lens that has a second curved surface portion along the first curved surface portion of the glass made lens and is united in one body by press fitting this second curved surface portion to the first curved surface portion of the glass made lens.
摘要:
In an optical unit of the present invention, a laser element and a glass lens are contained in a lens barrel. The ray axis of the laser beam is aligned with the optical axis of the glass lens without accidental displacement. By surely fixing the lens barrel, shift of the lens along the optical axis or variation in distance between the lens and laser element can be prevented. In contrast, a manufacturing precision of a lens barrel holding member may be lowered and low-in-cost. In order to ensure exact fixing of the lens barrel, a leaf-spring and a bonding agent are used. In this case, it is desirable that the force per unit contact length exerted by the leaf-spring onto the lens barrel be in the range of 100

An image forming apparatus includes an image forming mechanism and an image fixing unit. The image forming mechanism forms a toner image on a recording sheet. The image fixing unit fixes the toner image onto the recording sheet. The image fixing unit includes a magnetic flux generator, a heat member, a magnetic flux adjuster, and a controlling member. The magnetic flux generator generates a magnetic flux. The heat member is heated inductively by the magnetic flux generated by the magnetic flux generator. The magnetic flux adjuster reduces the magnetic flux active on the heat member to form a heat reduction area in an outer circumferential surface of the heat member in a width direction thereof. The controlling member moves the magnetic flux adjuster to change the heat reduction area.

A fixing apparatus and an image formation apparatus therewith are disclosed. According to the fixing apparatus, a heating range that is heated by electromagnetic induction caused by a current flowing through a coil unit is finely tunable by covering a part of a core unit with a shielding member. Further, the core unit has a projecting section at an end of the core unit, which projecting section projects toward the coil unit in comparison with the central part of the core unit.
