Image heating apparatus

An image heating apparatus comprising:

• an endless and flexible belt configured to heat an image on a sheet, and having a heat generating layer configured to generate heat by energization;
• an abutting member configured to abut on an outer peripheral surface of the belt so that a nip portion is formed between the belt and the abutting member to nip and convey the sheet;
• a pressing mechanism configured to press the belt and the abutting member against each other;
• a first ring-shaped member provided along the outer peripheral surface of the belt at one end of the belt on an outer side of the nip portion in a longitudinal direction of the belt, the first ring-shaped member being electrically connected to the heat generating layer;
• a second ring-shaped member provided along an inner peripheral surface of the belt at the one end of the belt on the outer side of the nip portion in the longitudinal direction, the second ring-shaped member clamping the belt along with the first ring-shaped member;
• and
• a power feed member configured to abut on the first ring-shaped member to feed power to the first ring-shaped member,
• wherein the second ring-shaped member has a chamfered portion chamfered on a surface abutting on the belt and in an end portion on a side of the nip portion in the longitudinal direction of the belt.
