Summary:To reduce, in an area between a first pressure pad and a second pressure pad, a ratio of a portion of an endless belt not pressed by the pressure pads.SOLUTION: A fixing device 8 comprises a heating roller 81, an endless belt 130, a first pressure pad P1, and a second pressure pad P2. The second pressure pad P2 is located on the downstream side in a conveyance direction of the first pressure pad P1. The first pressure pad P1 has a base part P11, and an extension part P12 extending from the base part toward the downstream side in the conveyance direction. In a state in which the first pressure pad P1 is not deformed, a dimension S2 in the direction of movement of the extension part P12 is smaller than a dimension S1 in the direction of movement of the base part P11.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 【課題】第1加圧パッドと第2加圧パッドの間の領域で、エンドレスベルトが加圧パッドに押圧されていない部分の割合を小さくする。【解決手段】定着装置8は、加熱ローラ81と、エンドレスベルト130と、第1加圧パッドP1と、第2加圧パッドP2とを備える。第2加圧パッドP2は、第1加圧パッドP1の搬送方向の下流側に位置する。第1加圧パッドP1は、ベース部P11と、ベース部から搬送方向の下流側に向けて延出する延出部P12と、を有する。第1加圧パッドP1が変形していない状態において、延出部P12の移動方向における寸法S2は、ベース部P11の移動方向における寸法S1より小さい。【選択図】図3
