Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate attaching and detaching of only a press roll without dismantling the device or utilizing any tools by supporting a heating roll with upper and lower side plates which can be separated and retaining a press roll supporting unit with a supporting member of the lower side plate and a pressurizing lever of the upper side plate. CONSTITUTION:By having a frame 26 of a paper ejecting means evaded by being rotated to the left with a shaft 29 as the center and removing a hook of a link 17 from a pin 15 while pushing down the pressurizing lever 16, the supporting unit of the press roll 6 is released from the state of pressurized contact and a connecting member 9 remains only mounted on a supporting member 11 of the lower side plate 4 and is therefore made easy to extract to the upper left direction. At this time, by matching a notched part of a rotating shaft 14 to a member 11, the force of the pressurized contact is made weaker and the engagement of the link 17 and the pin 15 is made easier to release. Furthermore, if the hook 25 is released and the upper side plate 3 is rotated to the upper direction, the heat roll 1 can also be extracted from the upper direction.
