ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed an image heating device, provided with a movable member including an electroconductive layer and adapted to move with a recording member, a magnetizing coil for generating a magnetic flux, provided continuously over the entire width of the movable member in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the movable member, and a core member for guiding the magnetic flux. The magnetic flux generated by the magnetizing coil induces an eddy current in the movable member, thereby heating an image supported on the recording member by the heat generated in the movable member by the eddy current. At least a part of the magnetizing coil is provided along the movable member not along the core member.
