Image heating apparatus and image forming apparatus with displacing members for displacing other members of the apparatuses
An image heating apparatus includes an endless belt for heating an image on a recording material at a nip; a pressing pad for pressing the belt at the nip; a supporting member for supporting the belt at an inner surface thereof, the supporting member being displaceable to move the belt in a widthwise direction of the belt; a lubricant application member for applying lubricant onto the inner surface of the belt; and displacing means for displacing the lubricant application member in accordance with a displacement of the supporting member.
1. An image heating apparatus, composing:
an endless belt for heating an image on a recording material at a nip;
a pressing pad for pressing said belt at said nip;
a belt supporting member for supporting said belt at an inner surface thereof, said belt supporting member being displaceable to move said belt in a widthwise direction of said belt;
a lubricant application member for applying lubricant onto the inner surface of said belt; and
displacing means for displacing said lubricant application member in accordance with a displacement of said belt supporting member.
2. An apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said displacing means has a lubricant application member supporting member for supporting said lubricant application member.
3. An apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein said lubricant application member supporting member supports said belt supporting member and a rotation shaft of said lubricant application member.
4. An apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said lubricant application member is disposed in a region which said belt is capable of entering with the displacement of said belt supporting member.
5. An image heating apparatus, comprising:
an endless belt for heating an image on a recording material at a nip;
