Summary:To prevent a trouble caused by thermal expansion of a heating roller and a heat insulating member without complicating a structure.SOLUTION: A fixing device 9 comprises: a heating roller 21; a pressure roller 27 that sandwiches a sheet S with the heating roller 21; a heating unit that heats the heating roller 21; heat insulating members 31 that each are provided on an outer peripheral surface of an end in an axial direction of the heating roller 21, have heat resistance against heat transmitted from the heating roller 21, and have an inclined shape in which its outer diameter is reduced toward the inside in the axial direction of the heating roller 21; and bearings 22 that each support the heating roller 21 with the heat insulating member 31 therebetween.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4 【課題】構造を複雑化させずに、加熱ローラー及び断熱部材の熱膨張による不具合を抑制することを目的とする。【解決手段】定着装置9は、加熱ローラー21と、加熱ローラー21との間にシートSを挟持する加圧ローラー27と、加熱ローラー21を加熱する加熱部と、加熱ローラー21の軸方向の端部の外周面に設けられ、加熱ローラー21から伝達される熱に対する耐熱性を有し、加熱ローラー21の軸方向の内側ほど外径が小さい傾斜形状の断熱部材31と、断熱部材31を介して加熱ローラー21を支持する軸受22と、を備える。【選択図】図4
