Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the rotational load torque of an upper fixing roller from increasing by providing plural rotatable supporting rollers engaged in the groove part of the fixing roller on the upside of the fixing roller provided with the groove part in a circumferential direction on the surface of its end. CONSTITUTION:The supporting rollers 3 and 4 are engaged in the groove part 2 formed along a peripheral surface near both ends of the cylindrical upper fixing roller 1. The rollers 3 and 4 are arranged to be brought into contact with the oblique upside of the roller 1 so as to position the roller 1 lest the roller 1 should escape to the upside. A lower fixing roller 6 is pressed to the roller 1 side by a spring, and the upper and lower rollers 1, 6 are rotated when driving force is transmitted from a driving system. The rollers 3 and 4 are also rotated with the rotation of the rollers 1 and 6, and slip occurs between the respective shafts 3a and 4a of the rollers 3 and 4. Therefore, the rollers 3 and 4 are free to rotate, and when the roller 1 is rotated, the rollers 3 and 14 are smoothly rotated and the rotational load torque of the roller 1 is prevented from becoming large.

FIG. 5 is a view showing a side structure of a fixing roller showing an embodiment according to claim 2. A supporting roller 11 is provided above the upper fixing roller 1, and the sliding member 1 is provided on both side surfaces.
2 and 13 are provided. The upper support roller 11 is made of a material that can withstand the urging force of the lower fixing roller 6, but the sliding members 12 and 13 do not need to have the same rigidity as the supporting roller 11, and have a friction coefficient with the upper fixing roller 1 as much as possible. Smaller materials can be selected. With this configuration, it is possible to prevent the load torque of the rotation of the upper fixing roller 1 from increasing. Further, since the contact area between the upper fixing roller 1, the supporting roller 11 and the sliding members 12 and 13 is small, it is possible to prevent the temperatures of both ends of the upper fixing roller from being significantly lowered. The support roller 11 and the sliding members 12 and 13 are engaged with the groove portion provided on the peripheral surface of the upper fixing roller 1, so that the upper fixing roller 1 is not displaced in the axial direction.
