IMAGE FORMATION DEVICE

摘要

Provided is an image formation device capable of reducing the accumulation of a developing agent on a blade and the adherence thereto, and also capable of minimizing the occurrence of misprinting. A printer (1) is equipped with a developing frame (25) for housing a toner, a developing roller (34) for holding the toner and capable of rotating, and a blade member (60) for limiting the thickness of the toner held by the developing roller (34). The blade member (60) is equipped with a base-end section (70) supported by the developing frame (25), and a tip-end section (71) positioned on the developing-roller (34) side. The tip-end section (71) is equipped with a contact section (73) for contacting the peripheral surface of the developing roller (34), and a separation section (74) for increasingly separating from the surface of the developing roller (34) in a direction from the contact section (73) toward the tip end (A). The tip end (A) of the separation section (74) is oriented downward in relation to the horizontal direction.
