PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent wearing caused by shaving of a photoreceptor drum 16 by reducing contact stress to the photoreceptor drum 16 at both end positions in a length direction of a cleaning blade 213, in an image formation device including the photoreceptor drum 16 which carries a toner image on a surface and the cleaning blade 213 which is provided across an entire length so that the length direction agrees with an axial direction of the photoreceptor drum 16, for removing a remaining toner sticking to a surface by making one end edge in a shorter direction orthogonal to the length direction contact the surface of the photoreceptor drum 16.SOLUTION: At a middle part in the shorter direction at both end parts in the length direction of the cleaning blade 213, a cut part 213c being recessed toward the inside along the length direction when viewed along a thickness direction of the cleaning blade 213 is formed.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 |
