A fixing device has a fixing roller including an inside roller, an outside
roller and a regulation member. The regulation member is disposed outside
of both ends of the outside roller in the axial direction to regulate
axial movement of the outside roller. An axial length of the contact
face, where the pressure roller contacts with the outside roller, is
smaller than an axial length of the outside roller. Thereby, both ends of
the outside roller hardly receive bending deformation caused by pressure
of the pressure roller. This makes it possible to reduce stress exerted
to both ends of the outside roller, and therefore, the ends of the fixing
roller are prevented from being damaged to enhance durability of the
fixing roller.
