In a device for fusing a toner image on a recording medium, a first roller
provided with a heat source and a second roller are provided. A stretcher
is elongated in a longitudinal direction of the second roller. An endless
belt is stretched by an outer circumferential face of the second roller
and a first face of the stretcher, and circulated in accordance with
rotation of the first roller and the second roller. The endless belt is
sandwiched between the first roller and the second roller to form a
nipping portion through which the recording medium passes to fuse the
toner image thereon. A supporter is disposed between the second roller
and the stretcher. The supporter is elongated in the longitudinal
direction of the second roller, and is provided with at least one first
projection having a first face which is brought into slide contact with
at least a longitudinal center portion of the outer circumferential face
of the second roller.
