摘要： A cleaning device removes a toner attached to an image carrier of an electrophotographic-type image forming apparatus. The cleaning device includes a cleaning blade, a housing and a block member. The cleaning blade is in contact with a surface of the image carrier to removes the toner. The housing stores the toner removed by the cleaning blade. The block member causes the toner to temporarily remain the toner in a vicinity of a distal end of the cleaning blade. The block member is formed of a sheet-shaped elastic member. One side of the block member is fixed to the housing. A repulsive force against bending in an end portion of the block member in a longitudinal direction is substantially smaller than a repulsive force against bending in a center portion of the block member.

摘要： A cleaning device includes a cleaning roller, a supporting portion and a guiding portion. The cleaning roller has a core and a cleaning member provided around the core, the cleaning member contacting and cleaning a charging roller by rotation of the cleaning roller, the charging roller charging an image carrier carrying an image. The supporting portion supports the core rotatably in a state in which the cleaning member is in contact with the charging roller. The guiding portion movably guides the core, which is supported by the supporting portion, in a direction different from a direction of a straight line passing through a rotational center of the charging roller and a rotational center of the cleaning roller.

摘要： An image forming apparatus includes an image carrier that holds a toner image, a rotary developing device including a plurality of developing units to develop an electrostatic latent image on the image carrier with toner by supplying the toner from the developing unit opposing the image carrier, a foreign-substance receiving plate that receives a falling foreign substance, a transfer unit that transfers the toner image from the image carrier onto a recording medium, and a fixing unit that fixes the transferred toner image on the recording medium. Each of the developing units includes a developer container that stores developer containing magnetic carriers and toner, and a developing roller that supplies the toner in the developer for development of the electrostatic latent image. The rotary developing device further supports a foreign-substance collecting member that magnetically collects a magnetic foreign substance on the foreign-substance receiving plate.
