An image heating apparatus includes an endless belt for heating an image
on a recording material; a plurality of supporting members on which the
belt is trained; magnetic flux generating means, disposed outside of the
belt, for generating heat in the belt by a magnetic flux, the magnetic
flux generating means being effective to cause induction heating both in
a region of the belt between the supporting members and in at least one
of the regions of the belt trained on the supporting members; a
temperature detecting element for detecting a temperature of the belt in
the region between the supporting members at a position across the belt
from the magnetic flux generating means; and electric power supply
shut-off means for shutting off electric power supply to the magnetic
flux generating means on the basis of an output of the temperature
detecting element.
