<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce a size despite a simple configuration. <P>SOLUTION: The imaging cartridge includes an image carrier 15, a developing device 17, a cleaning device 18, a fresh toner box 19 and a waste toner box 20. The image carrier 15, the developing device 17 and the cleaning device 18, and the fresh toner box 19 and the waste toner box 20 are disposed parallel to one another, and the cleaning device 18 and the waste toner box 20 are disposed adjacent to each other. The first connecting part 31 of the cleaning device 18 and the second connecting part 37 of the waste toner box 20 are positioned so as to overlap in a direction perpendicular to the adjacent direction. Thereby they communicate via a communicating part 34. The opposite faces of the first and second connecting parts 31 and 37 are formed so as to incline in the adjacent direction. Conveying means 28 and 38 for conveying waste toner are accommodated in extended areas 32 and 39, respectively, formed by inclining the opposite faces 31a and 37a. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
