Abstract
A fixing device includes a fixing belt, a belt guide, a pressuring member, a heat source and an excessive temperature rise preventing device. The guide contacts with the inside of the belt to assist the belt's rotation track. The heat source is located across the belt to the pressuring member to induction-heat the belt. The preventing device has first and second lead wires connected at one and another end sides in an axial direction of the belt and prevents excessive temperature rise of the guide in noncontact. The first lead wire is extended to one end side and pulled out from the inside to the outside via one end side in the belt. The second lead wire is extended to another end side, curved toward one end side, extended to one end side and pulled out from the inside to the outside via one end side in the belt.
