Abstract
On a sliding surface of a heating support body positioned in a downstream side in a film body moving direction wherein the heating temperature is comparatively high and the fluidity of a lubricant agent is good, fluid guiding grooves which uniformly disperse the lubricant agent are provided, thereby well dispersing the lubricant agent over the entire region from a center region to both-end regions of the heating support body and the film body and maintaining good slidability of the film body over a long period of time.
