ABSTRACT:
A fixing device is disclosed for fixing an unfixed toner image onto a sheet of paper by sandwiching in a contacting portion between an fixing roller and a pressing roller, and thus transporting, the sheet carrying thereon the unfixed toner image. The blade includes a base body made from a heat resistant rubber material (e.g., fluororubber) and a fluororesin sheet adhered to the surface of the base body by an adhesive agent so as to cover an edge portion of the blade. This permits provision of a fixing device with an oil-applying function which has superb durability and stability over a long period of time. The fluororesin sheet is preferably a tetrafluoroethylene=perfluoroalkylvinylether copolymer sheet. The adhesive agent is preferably a single component room-temperature-setting type silicone adhesive agent.
