IMAGE FORMING DEVICE

PURPOSE:To prevent scattering of removed brush hair into a machine with simple constitution by disposing a sponge member which rubs the surface of an image carrying body on the down stream side of a conductive fur brush. CONSTITUTION:The sponge member 15 which rubs the surface of a photosensitive body is provided on the down stream side of a conductive brush 8 of an image forming device. The member 15 is positioned by means of a double- coated adhesive tape, etc. to the recess provided to a cap 7 and is further grasped and attached by an electrifier 2. The photosensitive body 2 rubs with the conductive brush hair 10 of the cleaning brush 8 rotating in the direction opposite to the rotating direction of the body 2 in a cleaning position B, by which the remaining toner on the body is cleaned. The removed and cut conductive brush hair 10 is carried to the down stream side but is thoroughly dammed up by the sponge member 15, by which the hair is prevented from scattering to the outside of a cleaning device 5.
