ABSTRACT:
An image heating device includes a protective member for protecting an end portion of an endless film. The protective member has a hardness which is lower than that of the film. Hence, even if the film and the protective member rub each other, the damage of the end portion of the film can be prevented, and excellent image heating can be performed.
