The foreign substance removing device removes the foreign substances from the seal parts 44 by wiping the seal parts 44. The removing device is equipped with a wiping member 73 which can wipe the seal parts 44 as a lower end surface 73a slide-contacting with the seal parts 44 maintains a slide-contacting state to the seal parts 44 in a process to be shifted in a direction along the seal parts 44. The wiping member 73 is formed so that the lower end surface 73a extends along a direction which intersects the shift direction at the time of wiping. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
