PURPOSE:To clean the surface of a photosensitive body without detaching the photosensitive body from a copying machine by providing a supporting member in a vertically movable state in a housing which is attachable and detachable in the axial direction of the photosensitive body, and making this supporting member attachably and detachably. CONSTITUTION:When the photosensitive body cleaner is mounted to the copying machine body, a conveyer table 10 is moved down as shown by an arrow (c) to detach a separate electrostatical charger and a housing 15 constituting the photosensitive body cleaner is inserted along an electrostatical charger rail 9 in the axial direction of the photosensitive body 1. Then, the conveyor table 10 is lifted as shown by an arrow (b). The supporting member 12 is supported in the housing 15 by attaching/detaching mechanism provided on both sides so that the member 12 is rotatable around the surface of the drum 1 and vertically slidable by a sliding member 13; and the member 12 is energized upward by an elastic member 14, so the cleaning member 11 on the supporting member 12 is pressed against the photosensitive body 11. Then, the photosensitive body 1 is rotated more than once to remove a contaminant from the surface of the photosensitive body 1. |
