Zusammenfassung:PURPOSE:To easily and surely remove waste toner stored inside a photoreceptor by forming an aperture for discharging toner on a side surface plate pivotally supporting the photoreceptor and freely attaching/detaching the photoreceptor to/from an image forming device main body. CONSTITUTION:The waste toner is guided and stored in a hollow part in the photoreceptor 10 from a cleaner, the apertures 101 and 105 to discharge the toner are formed on the side surface plates 10b and 10c pivotally supporting the photoreceptor 10, and the photoreceptor 10 is freely attached to/detached from the image forming device main body. Transparent covers 100 and 107 are attachably/detachably attached to the apertures 101 and 105, and an elastic bellows member 103 is arranged in a recessed part formed around the aperture 101 of the side surface plate 10b. When the photoreceptor 10 is full of the waste toner, the photoreceptor 10 and the cleaner are integrally detached together with a supporting frame C from a cartridge, and the cover 100 is detached from the aperture 101, then the bellows member 103 is elongated to the outside to form a path for the waste toner, so that the waste toner is easily discharged.
