PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the lowering of carrying ability due to a large quantity of recovered toner caused by that the distance between the side surface of the terminal part of the fin part of a recovering screw and a carrying belt is too short when a large quantity of recovered toner drops to the carrying belt side from the end of the recovering screw in an image forming device in which toner remaining on a photoreceptor is removed by a cleaning means and then recovered to a developing device or a recovering container through the recovering screw and the carrying belt. SOLUTION: This toner recovering device is equipped with the recovering screw 4 carrying the recovered toner in an axial direction, the endless carrying belt 3 arranged adjacently to one end of the screw 4 in a carrying direction and receiving and carrying the toner from the screw 4, and the fin 12 arranged at a specified interval in a peripheral direction on the outer peripheral surface of the endless belt main body of the belt 3; and is equipped with an enlarging part 12a formed by extending the width of the fin arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the belt 3 toward one end in the axial direction where the recovered toner is carried than the width of the belt main body. |
