PURPOSE:To prevent a cleaned developer from setting and blocking the discharging port of a cleaner means by providing a transfer means for transferring the developer in the direction of the discharging port to which a developer restoring means is connected and a vibration adding means for vibrating to stir the developer in a reservoir room in the cleaner means. CONSTITUTION:The transfer means 82 for transferring the developer (a) removed from an image bearing body in the direction of the discharging port 84 to which the developer restoring means is connected and the vibration adding means 87 for vibrating to stir the developer (a) transferred to the discharging port 84 side by the transfer means 82 in the reservoir room 86 on the discharging port 84 side are provided in the cleaner means 21. If the cleaning quantity of the developer (a) is more than a recycle quantity the developer (a) carried to the discharging port 84 side by the transfer means 82 is temporarily gathered in the reservoir room 86 and vibrated to be stirred in the reservoir room with the action of the vibration adding means 87. Thus, the blocking of the discharg ing port 84 can be prevented. |
