PURPOSE:To store toner in a toner collecting case noiselessly without allowing the toner to stay near the inlet and to form the case compact by fitting rotatably a magnetic plate consisting of a magnetic body to the bottom of the toner collecting case. CONSTITUTION:The toner carried by a carrying device 3 is dropped from the inlet 4a into the collecting case 4. Being magnetized, the dropped toner is adsorbed by a magnetic disc 5 rotated in the counterclockwise direction at the bottom of the collecting case 4, carried successively in the counterclockwise direction up to a separator 4c and stacked and collected from the separator 4c up to the upper part successively. The magnetic disc 5 interrupted from the toner by the separator 4c continues to rotate as it is and carries the toner dropped from the inlet 4a in the counterclockwise direction repeatedly. |
