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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18624835 titled 'FIXING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

The fixing device described in the patent application consists of a fixing belt, a heat source, a fixing pad, and a support member. The support member includes a fixture and an upright that are integrally formed, with the fixing pad fixed in the rotation axis direction of the fixing belt. The upright is upright from a side opposite to the fixing pad in a width direction orthogonal to the rotation axis direction of the fixture, and multiple connections between the fixture and the upright are provided.

  • The fixing device includes a fixing belt, heat source, fixing pad, and support member.
  • The support member integrates a fixture and an upright, with the fixing pad fixed in the rotation axis direction of the fixing belt.
  • The upright is positioned opposite to the fixing pad in a width direction orthogonal to the rotation axis of the fixture.
  • Multiple connections between the fixture and the upright are provided for stability and support.
  • The design of the fixing device allows for efficient and effective fixing of materials.
