Summary:To reduce the number of components for holding a planar heating member.SOLUTION: A planar heating member 22 is held by a holding member 23 that is arranged inside an endless belt 20 in contact with an opposite member to form a nip part, and heats an inner peripheral surface of the belt 20 at the nip part, and the heating member has a separation regulation part 39b that can be engaged with the holding member 23 to regulate a movement of the heating member 22 in a direction that is perpendicular to a surface of the heating member 22 facing the belt 20, and that is a separation direction in which the heating member 22 is separated from the holding member 23. The separation regulation part 39b is provided only on a portion arranged outside an end in the width direction of the belt 20.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 43 【課題】面状の加熱部材を保持するための部品点数を少なくする。【解決手段】対向部材に接触してニップ部を形成する無端状のベルト20の内側に配置される保持部材23に保持され、ニップ部においてベルト20の内周面を加熱する面状の加熱部材22であって、保持部材23に対して係合することにより、ベルト20に対する加熱部材22の対向面に垂直な方向であって保持部材23から加熱部材22が離れる離間方向への加熱部材22の移動を規制可能な離間規制部39bを有し、離間規制部39bは、ベルト20の幅方向端部よりも外側に配置される部分のみに設けられる。【選択図】図43
