  • Publication number: 20250076799
    Abstract: A fixing device includes a heater, a holding member, and a pressure member. The heater heats a fixing belt. The holding member holds the heater such that the front surface of the heater is in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the fixing belt. The pressure member is pressed by the heater with the fixing belt interposed therebetween. The holding member includes a concave portion for accommodating the heater, a seating surface that is in contact with the back surface of the heater is formed in the concave portion, and the seating surface is formed such that an area of a contact surface with the heater in a circumferential direction of the fixing belt is narrower or wider at a location than at another location in a width direction that intersects the circumferential direction.
