PURPOSE:To provide a toner recovering device for an image forming device where the positional relation and a distance between the discharge port of a cleaning means and the insertion port of a discharged toner container are freely selected because a screw is not curved, the rigidity of the screw is increased, partial cut is not caused even when the device is used for a long time, pitch is set large, the carrying speed of the discharged toner is not decreased, and the blocking of the discharged toner is not caused in the screw. CONSTITUTION:The discharged toner, which is removed from the surface of a photosensitive body by a cleaning means 1 after an electrostatic latent image formed on the photosensitive body is visualized and transferred on paper, is carried in the discharged toner container 2 by a carrying means 3. The means 3 is provided with the 1st and the 2nd screws 6 and 8 provided inside and outside the cleaning means 1, and the length of a perpendicular from the center of the entrance of the container 2 to the end face of the discharged toner discharge port, of the cleaning means 1 is within three times as long as the outside diameter of the 1st screw 6. |
