Abstract
An image heating apparatus including a supporting member having (a) a hole in which a temperature detecting element is disposed so as to contact a second surface of a heat-conductive member, and (b) an opposing surface that (i) opposes the second surface of the heat-conductive member, and (ii) includes a contact region contacting the second surface of the heat-conductive member, the opposing surface of the supporting member being provided adjacent to the hole of the supporting member in a longitudinal direction of the heater. The contact region of the supporting member presses, toward the heater, a part of the heat-conductive member corresponding to the contact region of the supporting member, and the temperature detecting element presses, toward the heater, a part of the heat-conductive member corresponding to the hole of the supporting member.
