Abstract: A fusing apparatus and an image forming apparatus includes: a fusing belt; a pressing roller pressed to the fusing belt to form a nib part and rotating the fusing belt; a bushing guiding an edge of the fusing belt; and a ring member rotatably coupled to the bushing and in contact with the edge of the fusing belt that rotates to rotate together with the fusing belt, wherein a first frictional force generated between the edge of the fusing belt and the ring member is larger than a second frictional force generated between the bushing and the ring member.

Abstract: A fixing device comprising a fixing belt, a rotating member arranged to be in engagement with an outer circumferential surface of the fixing belt, a nip forming member to press the fixing belt, to form a fixing nip between the fixing belt and the rotating member, and sliding members on both ends of the fixing belt and to rotate together with the fixing belt.

Abstract: A fixing device including fixing belt, a heat source to heat the fixing belt, a rotating member in engagement with an outer circumferential surface of the fixing belt, a nip forming member to pressurize the fixing belt, thereby forming a fixing nip between the fixing belt and the rotating member, and sliding members on both ends of the fixing belt and rotated together with the fixing belt. A rotation center of each of the sliding members is on an upstream side compared to a rotation center of the rotating member along a feeding direction of a printing medium, and a shortest distance between a tangential line of an outer circumferential surface of each of the sliding members and the rotation center of the rotating member is equal to or greater than a shortest distance between the fixing nip and the rotation center of the rotating member.

Abstract: An image fixing device includes a heat source configured to generate heat, a fixing belt heated by the heat source and disposed to be rotatable, a rotational member disposed to be opposite to the fixing belt and to press a printing medium to the fixing belt, and a supporting member to support an inner circumferential surface of the fixing belt so as to form a fixing nip between the fixing belt and the rotational member and having a plurality of heat insulation grooves formed in a surface thereof so as to reduce thermal conductivity of the supporting member. By the configuration of the present general inventive concept, it is possible to prevent or minimize a heat loss of the fixing belt and thus to enhance image forming efficiency.

Abstract: A clock includes a display including a plurality of planar portions and a plurality of bending portions disposed between the plane portions. The display is configured to display at least one of time, day, or day of the week. The clock also includes a bottom support for supporting one end of the display.
