摘要:
An image forming apparatus includes a casing 2 and a process cartridge 20, which is mounted removably in the casing. A powder retaining box 53 is supported pivotally by the bottom of the process cartridge 20, and supports a pinch roller 52 for contacting with a sheet of paper 3 to collect paper powder from it. The retaining box 53 has an opening through which the collected powder enters it. The pinch roller 52 substantially closes the box opening, and prevents the paper powder in the retaining box 53 from scattering out when the process cartridge 20 is dismounted from the casing 2. If the a retaining box 53 were fixed to the process cartridge 20, and the pinch roller 52 moved relative to the retaining box when the process cartridge is dismounted, paper powder might scatter out of the retaining box.

The sponge sealing member of the side seal is arranged on the roller opposed face of the seal arrangement portion so that the lower end face at the upstream side in the rotating direction of the developing roller is positioned to have the same face as the back end face of the seal arrangement portion and the upper end face at the downstream side is connected with the lower end face of the side portion of the blade back seal. The felt sealing member is arranged so that the upper end portion at the downstream side in the rotating direction of the developing roller is formed astride the lower end portion of the leaf spring member and the sponge sealing member, extends along the sponge sealing member, through the back end face of the seal arrangement portion and around to the lower face of the seal arrangement portion.

A first paper-dust removing device is provided to mainly remove pulp fibers of the paper dust. The first paper-dust removing device is located downstream from a transfer position in the photosensitive drum rotating direction. A second paper-dust removing device is provided to mainly remove talc in the paper dust. The second paper-dust removing device may be located downstream from the first paper dust removing device in the photosensitive drum rotating direction or upstream from the transfer position in the sheet conveying direction along the sheet transport path. An additional first paper-dust removing device may be located upstream from the transfer position in the sheet conveying direction along the sheet transport path.

An image forming device capable of sufficiently removing paper dusts on a sheet thereby providing high quality image. A sheet transport path 38 is defined between a sheet supply section 7 provided with a separation pad 13 and a sheet supply roller 12 and an image forming section 5. Along the sheet supply section 7, at least a first paper dust removing roller 9b having a width slightly greater than the width of the separation pad 13 and a second paper dust removing roller 10b having a width slightly greater than the sheet width are disposed. Paper dusts generated upon friction against the separation pad 13 are removed by the first paper dust removing roller 9b, and paper dusts spreading over entire surface of the sheet are removed by the second paper dust removing roller 10b.

In an image forming apparatus, a brush member is formed from a brush made from acrylic resin that has not been subjected to conductivity-enhancing processes. The brush member is attached to a conductive plate. A resistor is provided in series with the conductive plate and a fixed power source. The fixed power source applies a predetermined high voltage to the conductive plate.
