Image heating apparatus

An image heating apparatus comprising:

• a coil for generating magnetic flux;
• a rotatable heat generating member, which generates heat by the magnetic flux generated from said coil, for heating an image on a recording material;
• a plurality of magnetic cores provided outside said heat generating member and arranged in a rotational axis direction of said heat generating member;
• first moving means for moving at least a part of said plurality of magnetic cores from a first position to a second position spaced from said coil;
• magnetic flux adjusting means, movable between said magnetic cores and said heat generating member, for reducing the magnetic flux directed from said magnetic cores toward said heat generating member;
• and
• second moving means for moving, when a first magnetic core in a non-sheet-passing area of the recording material is moved to the second position by said first moving means and a second magnetic core adjacent to the first magnetic core in the non-sheet-passing area is disposed at the first position to heat the image, said magnetic flux adjusting means to a position corresponding to the second magnetic core.
