Abstract
An image forming apparatus according to the present disclosure includes a paper dust cleaning device configured to remove paper dust adhered to a surface of a conveying roller that conveys a paper sheet in a predetermined conveying direction. The paper dust cleaning device includes a paper dust removing member configured to extend in an axial direction of the conveying roller and come in contact with a surface of the conveying roller; a holder formed in a long shape in the axial direction and configured to hold the paper dust removing member; and a holder support portion configured to hold the holder so that the paper dust removing member comes in contact with the surface of the conveying roller, and configured to support the holder so as to be movable in the axial direction.
Claims7
An image forming apparatus comprising a paper dust cleaning device configured to remove paper dust adhering to a surface of a conveying roller that conveys a sheet of paper in a predetermined conveying direction;
- the paper dust cleaning device comprising:
- a paper dust removing member configured to extend in an axial direction of the conveying roller and come in contact with a surface of the conveying roller;
- a holder formed in a long shape in the axial direction and configured to hold the paper dust removing member;
- a holder support portion configured to hold the holder so that the paper dust removing member comes in contact with the surface of the conveying roller, and configured to support the holder so as to be movable in the axial direction;
- and
- an elastic member configured to apply an elastic force in the axial direction to the holder, the force being weaker than contact friction force between the surface of the conveying roller and the paper dust removing member.
