ABSTRACT:
In a fixing device wherein a toner image formed on a copying paper by an electrophotographic copying machine is fixed while the copying paper is maintained in contact with the periphery of a heated fixing roller. Pressure is applied to the copying paper by a pressure applying device including an endless belt supported by a pair of spaced rollers which are mounted on a slidable plate. The slidable member is normally clamped at an operating position by a clamping member. When the clamping member is released, the slidable plate can be slid laterally to separate the endless belt from the fixing roller thereby enabling removal of jammed copying paper, exchange, repair and inspection of various elements of the fixing device.
