Abstract: An elastic member that comes into contact with a moving body that moves in a predetermined moving direction to scrape off a deposit on the moving body includes: a stress reducer that is provided at a contact end on a side to be in contact with the moving body and reduces vibration of internal stress generated due to contact between the moving body and the elastic member, wherein the stress reducer extends in a direction that is not perpendicular to the moving direction when the elastic member comes in contact with the moving body.
