PURPOSE:To plentifully fill a collecting container with toner with high concentration by preventing the motion of the collecting container in the direction to an opposite edge with the aid of a fixed member, detecting the acceleration with a detection sensor and executing the control of the acceleration based on the detected information. CONSTITUTION:A holding dish 14 repeats the motion that it moves to an opposite side by being energized by a spring 17 and collides with the fixed member 19 provided on a fixed frame 15. The toner received in the collecting container 13 integrated with the holding dish 14 from a toner reception port 13a is moved to the opposite edge side with the above-mentioned collision and a toner housing room is sequentially filled with the toner from the innermost part. And an acceleration sensor 21 is provided on the holding dish 14 and a controller 22 controls to drive a motor 20 according to the information of the sensor 21 so as to move the position of a spring hook 16, then the acceleration of the collecting container 13 can be kept constant. Thus, the collecting container can be plentifully filled with the toner with high concentration and it can be compactly incorporated in an image forming device. |
