PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To decrease flexure of a support metal plate, which occurs due to thermal expansion of the support metal plates for the support of a cleaning blade or a film seal and thermal expansion of a toner recovery resin container. SOLUTION: The toner recovery container V has low rigidity connection portions 17c, 19c, and 19d formed between the container main body 1 of the cleaner and the support plate connection portions 17 and 19. The low rigidity connection portions 17c, 19c and 19d can be deformed so that the support plate connection portions 17 and 19 can be easily displaced relative to the container main body 1 when a thermal expansion difference in the direction of the width of the surface of a toner image carrier occurs between the toner recovery container V and the blade support plates. |
