<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cleaning device capable of stably keeping the cleaning performance by minimizing the fluctuation of the intrusion amount and set angle to an electrophotographic photoreceptor drum of an elastic blade by temperature variation. <P>SOLUTION: Electrophotographic photoreceptor drum-bearing members 22 and 23 are fixed to a supporting member 15b for supporting the elastic blade 15a elastically coming into contact with the electrophotographic photoreceptor drum 7, and a removed developer accommodating container 21 is fixed to the supporting member 15b. The electrophotographic photoreceptor drum-bearing members 22 and 23 and the removed developer-accommodating container 21 absorb difference in amount of thermal expansion caused by difference in thermal expansion coefficient, and can move mutual components in the longitudinal direction of the supporting member 15b. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
