Electrostatic recording device

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To improve the performance of a cleaning device without providing an absorbing device by providing a flicker means for removing an adhering toner by bending the tip of a brush twice, and a means for shielding a toner turning into a photosensitive body. CONSTITUTION:The tip of a brush 33 for rotating and carrying a toner scraped by a blade 32 in the direction receding from a photosensitive body 31 is bent by the peeling member 34 of a flicker A, reset elastically in an opening 34a, removes a toner adhering to the brush, deformed again by a side 34c, and thereafter, reset elastically again, and removes the toner for the second time. The tip part of a shielding member 35 is positioned adjacently to the extent that it does not contact with the tip of the brush 33, therefore, it is prevented that the toner scattered between the members 34, 35 strays into the direction of the photosensitive body 31. Accordingly, the toner is removed enough from the brush 33, does not cause filming by straying into the photosensitive body, so that an absorbing means in not required, the structure is simplified, and a picture having good quality can be formed.
