(57) [Problem] To provide a conventional belt-type image heating apparatus capable of shortening a warm-up time, but a belt temperature resetting operation tends to be unstable. SOLUTION: A thin belt, pressure means for pressing the belt to form a nip on the surface side of the belt, and a heat generating roller which is at least partially conductive and movably suspends the belt, A belt temperature is stably controlled by a configuration having an exciting coil for exciting a contact portion of the heat roller with the belt from outside through the belt. |
