摘要： A cleaning device includes a fixing portion provided on a frame, a cleaning member, and an accommodating portion. The cleaning member includes a blade portion contacted to an image bearing member (drum) and a supporting member. The supporting member includes one end portion where the blade portion is provided, another end portion including a portion-to-be-fixed for being fixed at the fixing portion, and a bent portion between the one end portion and the other end portion in a side remote from a surface of the drum toward an outside with respect to a line connecting the portion-to-be-fixed and a contact portion where the blade portion is contacted to the drum. The portion-to-be-fixed is provided downstream of the contact portion with respect to movement direction of the drum. Between the frame and the other end portion, a gap for permitting elastic deformation of the other end portion is provided.

摘要： The image forming apparatus has a developer container containing a developer therein, a developer toner density detecting portion for detecting the permeability of the developer in the developer container to thereby detect toner density, and an engine controller for detecting whether the image forming apparatus has gone wrong, on the basis of the toner density detected by the developer toner density detecting portion. Thereby, it becomes possible to detect the failure of a developing apparatus reliably and early by an inexpensive construction.

摘要： An image forming apparatus using a two-component developer including a toner and a carrier as a developer, and provided with a toner replenishing device for replenishing with the toner has remaining amount detecting means for detecting the remaining amount of toner in a toner container, and informing means for generating a signal indicative of a small remaining amount of toner when the remaining amount of toner in the toner container becomes equal to or less than a predetermined amount, and a limit value is made effective only in a state in which the signal indicative of a small remaining amount of toner is being outputted. Also, by the density of the developer in a developing container becoming smaller than a predetermined limit value, a state in which a developing device is not being replenished with the toner from the toner replenishing device is judged. The limit value has a plurality of standards, and a value is selected and used in conformity with the remaining amount of toner in the toner container.
