IMAGE HEATING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18297678 Titled 'IMAGE HEATING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a flange member and a film guide used in a recording material conveyance system. The flange member is designed so that the distance between a part of it on the upstream side and the center of the nip (where two virtual lines intersect) is longer than the distance between a region of its outer surface and the nip center on the first virtual line. Similarly, the film guide is designed so that the distance between a position on the upstream side and the nip center is longer than the distance between a position on the downstream side and the nip center on the first virtual line.


Original Abstract Submitted

A flange member is adapted such that a first distance between a first position at which a part thereof on an upstream side in a recording material conveyance direction comes into contact with a film inner surface and a nip center that is an intersection of a first virtual line and a second virtual line is longer than a second distance between a second position at which a region of an outer surface of the flange member facing the film inner surface intersects the first virtual line and the nip center, and a film guide is adapted such that a third distance between a third position that faces the film inner surface on the upstream side and the nip center is longer than a fourth distance between a fourth position that faces the film inner surface on the downstream side and the nip center on the first virtual line.
