PURPOSE:To provide a recovering/carrying device capable of preventing the blocking of toner and smoothly carrying the toner into a toner recovering bottle. CONSTITUTION:On the internal surface of a toner carrying path 10, a rectangular recessed region 9 is consecutive. At this time. the toner 5 after cleaning is turned into a lump larger than the average grain diameter of the toner and intruded into the toner carrying path 10. The contact area of the toner intruded into the toner carrying path 10 with the internal surface is reduced by the consecutiveness of the rectangular recessed region 9 having a diameter slightly smaller than grain diameter of the toner turned into the large lump, so that the chance to stick to the internal surface can be reduced and the toner is carried by a carrying coil while being prevented from sticking to the toner carrying path 10. |
