Zusammenfassung:PURPOSE:To prevent a device from fouling the due to toner scattering or spilling by turning scraping/feeding plates, and feeding toner, which has been removed from the surface of photosensitive body and gradually drops on the surface of a floor inside a cleaning device, to a toner pool part. CONSTITUTION:The toner is peeled off from a photosensitive drum 1 by a cleaning blade 2, guided by a guiding plate 3 repeating slight vibrations, and drops. The dropped toner is accumulated in the vicinity of the housing bottom part L at the initial period of cleaning, and gradually accumulated in a S part along the housing slope as time passes. The accumulated toner in the S part is gradually scraped/fed from the S part to the U part of the toner pool part by a scraping/feeding plate 500. At this time, since the toner adhering to the scraping/feeding plate 500 is removed by a scraping/feeding plate 600, it is always refreshed and its scraping/feeding performance is not deteriorated. Thus, the occurrence of toner scattering or spilling due to toner accumulating in a opening part can be prevented.
