Cleaning member employing flexible blades and brushes for surface of developer roller and developer using the same

摘要

A cleaning member on a surface of a developer roller can effectively remove toner particles on the developer roller. The cleaning member has a plurality of flexible blades slidingly contacting with the surface of the developer roller on a peripheral surface of a rotary roller arranged in parallel to the developer roller and brushes provided on the surface of the roller at a position between the blades and slidingly contacting with the surface of the developer roller. The cleaning roller is housed within a cleaning chamber and driven to rotate at a higher speed than the developer roller.
