Abstract:
A fixing device includes first to third support portions, first and second members, first and second biasing members, and a switching portion. The first support portion presses an endless belt against a rotating body. The second member is supported in the endless belt so as to be separable from the first support portion. The first biasing member biases the second member to a rotating body side. The second support portion supports the first support portion. The third support portion supports the second support portion, rotates the first support portion in a direction of approaching the rotating body by pressing the first support portion to the rotating body side at a first position, and is separated from the first support portion at a second position. The second biasing member biases the second support portion to the rotating body side. The switching portion switches between first and second states.
