Abstract
A fixing device includes: a pair of pressure members that nip and apply pressure to a recording material having an unfixed image thereon; multiple pressure mechanisms that transmit a force to at least one of the pair of pressure members to generate the pressure; and multiple elastic members that apply elastic forces to a common portion in each pressure mechanism to generate the pressure.
