ABSTRACT:
A fixing apparatus for fixing an image on a record sheet comprises a fixing roller in which a heater is disposed, a pressing roller urged against the fixing roller, heat pipes extending in either one of the fixing and pressing rollers in a longitudinal direction thereof, and a temperature detection / control device for detecting to control a temperature of the fixing roller. In a typical embodiment, the heat pipes are disposed in the fixing roller to extend both through an imaging portion, through which a record sheet passes, and through a non-imaging portion, through which no record sheet passes and the temperature detection / control device has a temperature detection device for detecting a temperature of the fixing roller in contact with the non-imaging portion. The temperature detection / control device is provided with a temperature regulating device for interrupting electricity to the heater when the fixing roller exceeds a predetermined temperature. In another embodiment, at least one of heat pipes is provided in the fixing roller in parallel with an axis of the fixing roller, and a core of the fixing roller is produced by extrusion.
