<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently collect liquid developer in a collecting device that has a squeezing roller for squeezing an image developed with liquid developer containing toner and carrier liquid and in an image forming device equipped with the collecting device. <P>SOLUTION: A cleaning roller 62 is brought into contact with a squeezing roller 61, liquid developer is collected from the squeezing roller 61 by the cleaning roller 62 and a cleaning blade 63 is brought into contact with the cleaning roller 62. Thus, a distance from a contact position of the blade to a photoreceptor drum 1 is greater in comparison with a distance of a conventional device, and the cleaning blade 63 can be disposed under a state that the cleaning blade 63 is erected. Further, the liquid developer that is collected by the cleaning blade 63 smoothly flows along an upper surface of the cleaning blade 63 from upside to downside of a perpendicular direction due to its own weight and is collected by a collecting member. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
