Abstract: A method of separating an adhesive-bonded body is provided, by which a pair of pieces bonded together by using an adhesive can be easily securely separated from each other, wherein the adhesive has excellent adhesive force without being influenced by environmental temperature, excellent storage stability and wide scope of selection of the piece to be bonded. An adhesive-bonded body 1 includes a pair of pieces 2 bonded together and an adhesive layer 4. The adhesive layer 4 bonds the pair of pieces 2 to each other. Ultrasonic vibration is applied to the adhesive-bonded body 1 which is put between a tool horn 6 and an anvil 7 of an ultrasonic vibration applying device 3. The ultrasonic vibration is generated by applying a voltage to a piezoelectric vibrator 5 and vibrates the tool horn 6. The tool horn 6 vibrates ultrasonically together with one piece 2. The pair of the pieces 2 bonded together shifts relatively each other due to the ultrasonic vibration.

Abstract: In an image forming apparatus, a fixing device for fixing a toner image on a paper has an oil applying member for applying oil to a heat roller, and an impurity fixing member for fixing the impurities, including toner and paper dust, to the cleaning member. The impurities transferred from the applying member to the cleaning member are fixed to the cleaning member. As a result, the applying member suffers from a minimum of contamination and can be cleaned when contaminated. This obviates the reverse transfer of the contamination from the applying roller to the heat roller which would lower image quality.
