WASTE TONER-RECOVERING CONTAINER AND IMAGE-FORMING DEVICE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent breakage of a projection part for a sensor which detects the fullness of wasted toner. SOLUTION: In the main body 31 of a waste toner-recovering container 30, a projection part 33 is provided which projects from a protrusion part 32 for a fullness-detecting sensor to protect the protrusion part 32. When the container 30 is attached to or detached from the main body of an image-forming device for the purpose of the maintenance of the main body of the image-forming device, even if the container 30 falls down, the projection part 33 contacts the face to be fallen-down before the protrusion part 32 contacts it. Accordingly, the protrusion part 32 is prevented from being broken. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
