PURPOSE:To prevent flying of the toner having been stripped from the photoreceptor surface with a blade and deposited in the housing opening part by providing a toner scraping means having the function of parting the toner. CONSTITUTION:The toner stripped from a photoreceptor 1 by a cleaning blade 2 falls without depositing on a diaphragm 3 along a vibrating guide plate 3 and deposits on the S part of a housing device L. As a scrape feed device 5 rotates, the support 501 of its scrape feed plate 500 abuts against the axis SH-1 provided to the support plate 4 of the guide plate 3 and causes the guide plate 3 to vibrate, due to which the scrape feed plate 500 sends the toner. The scraping plate 601 of the scraping device 6 abuts against the scrape feed plate 501, removes the toner deposited on its surface, and sends the toner scraped off through its elastic deformation to the u part of the housing. When released of the pressing force to the scrape feed plate 501, the scraping plate 601 resets to the home position by its own elastic force. |
