Abstract
A fixing apparatus for fixing an image formed on the recording material, includes: a fixing rotatable member for forming a fixing nip; and wrapping preventing members, each provided downstream of the nip with respect to a feeding direction of the recording material, for preventing the recording material from wrapping around the rotatable member. When the recording material is jammed downstream of the fixing nip, the wrapping preventing members move to narrow the space from the rotatable member to the wrapping preventing members by being pushed by the jammed recording material. The wrapping preventing members are arranged in a direction substantially perpendicular to the recording-material feeding direction. Also provided is a connector for connecting adjacent wrapping preventing members to move, when one is pushed by the jammed recording material, to narrow the space.
