Abstract
An image heating apparatus includes rotatable members; a roller; a detector; a displacing mechanism configured to displace one longitudinal end of the roller from a first position to a second position depending on an output of the detector so as to return the endless belt to the predetermined zone; and a timer configured to count a time in which the endless belt is out of the predetermined zone from displacement of the roller to the second position by the displacing mechanism. When the time counted by the timer is a predetermined time, the displacing mechanism displaces the one longitudinal end of the roller to a third position remoter from the first position than the second position so as to return the endless belt is returned to the predetermined zone.
