Abstract
An image heating apparatus fixes a toner image by heating a recording material bearing an image when a film rotates around a support member which supports a nip forming member forming a nip portion with a rotating member while sliding on the nip forming member. The image heating apparatus includes a temperature detection element which outputs information about a detected temperature to a control unit which controls a temperature of the heating member supplying heat to the rotating member or the film, a first supply member which supplies a lubricant to the film in contact with the film, and a second supply member which is different from the first supply member and supplies the lubricant to the film in contact with the film, wherein the temperature detection element is arranged between the first supply member and the second supply member in a longitudinal direction of the support member.
