Image heating apparatus

An image heating apparatus comprising:

• first and second rotatable members configured to heat an image on a recording material at a nip therebetween;
• an endless belt configured to heat said first rotatable member in contact with an outer surface of said first rotatable member;
• and
• first and second rollers configured to rotatably support said endless belt and configured to urge said endless belt toward said first rotatable member,
• wherein said second roller is provided downstream of said first roller with respect to a rotational direction of said first rotatable member within said endless belt;
• wherein a pressure between said second roller and said first rotatable member is larger than a pressure between said first roller and said first rotatable member, and
• wherein a feeding force by which said endless belt is fed between said second roller and said first rotatable member is larger than a feeding force by which said endless belt is fed between said first roller and said first rotatable member.

• an endless belt configured to heat said first rotatable member in contact with an outer surface of said first rotatable member;
• and
• first and second rollers configured to rotatably support said endless belt from an inside of said endless belt,
• wherein a heating area in which said first rotatable member is heated by said endless belt is formed from a position where said endless belt is pressed to said first rotatable member by said first roller to a position where said endless belt is pressed to said first rotatable member by said second roller along a rotational direction of said first rotatable member;
• and
• wherein a feeding force by which said endless belt is fed between said second roller and said first rotatable member is larger than a feeding force by which said endless belt is fed between said first roller and said first rotatable member.
