摘要： In an oilless fixing apparatus of an image heating apparatus, a surface of a fixing roller or a pressure roller tends to be abraded by a separating claw if the contact pressure thereof is high, whereby the service life of the fixing roller or the pressure roller is often shortened. If the radius of curvature of the tip of the separating claw is reduced, there may be applied an excessively large force on the tip of the separating claw and the fixing roller or the pressure roller may be fatally damaged.

摘要： An image forming apparatus includes a toner carrying member for carrying a toner; an image carrying member, contacting the toner on the toner carrying member, on which a toner image is to be formed with the toner; and an electrode portion provided at an opposing position in which the electrode portion opposes the toner carrying member via the image carrying member interposed therebetween. The toner image is formed on the image carrying member by changing a value of a voltage, on the basis of image information, applied to the electrode portion. The toner carried on the toner carrying member and the image carrying member contact each other in a toner contact area. The toner is moved between the toner carrying member and the image carrying member in a toner movement area by changing the value of the voltage applied to the electrode portion. The toner movement area is present downstream of the toner contact area with respect to a movement direction of the image carrying member.
