PURPOSE:To easily collect discharged toner by making an aperture hole a long aperture hole in a moving locus direction so that the movement of a tube for transferring collected toner is allowed in accordance with the displacement of a cleaning device. CONSTITUTION:A projecting frame part 32A is integrally formed to the upper part of the main body of a discharged toner collecting device 32. Then, the side thereof faced to the cleaning device 6 is a part provided with the aperture hole 32A1 and the opposite side is a closed part. The stretching end part side of the tube for transferring collected toner 14 is inserted in the frame part 32A from such an aperture hole 32A1. The cleaning device 6 is fluctuated and displaced and the tube 14 is also moved in a direction shown by an arrow. Then, when the aperture hole 32A1 is made to be the long aperture hole in the moving locus direction so as to allow the tube 14 to be moved, excess load other than the own weight of the cleaning device 6 is not added to the device 6 itself. Thus, the discharged toner is collected without trouble. |
