HEATING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240319643 titled 'HEATING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation:
This patent application describes a heating device with two rotating members, where the first rotating member is heated by a heat source and forms a nip portion with the second rotating member to heat a recording material. The device includes covers to protect the rotating members, with the second cover having a protruding portion towards the first rotating member.
- The heating device has two rotating members that heat a recording material at a nip portion.
- It includes covers to protect the rotating members, with one cover having a protruding portion.
- The protruding portion of the cover is smaller in length than the first rotating member.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Two rotating members for heating recording material.
- Covers for protection, with one cover having a protruding portion.
