<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate conveying a waste developer. <P>SOLUTION: The cleaning device includes: a cleaning member for removing developer attached to a developer attaching member; a rotation carrying member which is rotatably configured to carry the developer that is removed by the cleaning member; a housing member for housing the developer that is removed by the cleaning member and configured as a part of a developer housing part that surrounds the rotation carrying member; and an elastic member arranged to contact a periphery of the rotation carrying member. Since the elastic member is disposed in contact with the outer periphery of the rotation carrying member, the waste developer adhering to the outer periphery of the rotation carrying member can be scraped off. Therefore, the waste developer is smoothly conveyed by the rotation carrying member. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT</p> |
