Cleaning apparatus and image forming apparatus

摘要

A cleaning apparatus restrains the scattering of toners in an intermediate transfer member cleaning apparatus thereby to restrain the scattering toners from dirtying the inside of the apparatus. A cleaning container has an anti-scatter portion that enters into a fur brush. The anti-scatter portion blocks a bias roller from a space outside the cleaning apparatus.

主权项

1. A cleaning apparatus, comprising:
a fur brush configured to contact with an image bearing member at a first contact position and electrostatically collect a toner on the image bearing member, and to rotate in an opposite direction with respect to a moving direction of the image bearing member at the first contact position; a bias roller configured to enter into the fur brush at a second contact position, and electrostatically collect the toner on the fur brush, and to rotate in the same direction with respect to a moving direction of the fur brush at the second contact position; and a cleaning container configured to support the fur brush and the bias roller, and to have an anti-scatter portion, which enters into the fur brush so as to shield the bias roller from an outside of the cleaning apparatus, wherein an amount of entry of the anti-scatter portion into the fur brush is smaller than an amount of entry of the bias roller into the fur brush.
