Cleaning device, process cartridge, image forming apparatus and toner

A process cartridge for an image forming apparatus, wherein the process cartridge is detachably mounted in the image forming apparatus, comprising:

• an image support body configured to support a latent image;
• and
• a cleaning part configured to clean a surface of the image support body after transferring, said cleaning part comprising:
• a cleaning blade disposed in contact with the surface of the image support body;
• a lubricant agent applying part configured to apply a solid lubricant agent to the surface of the image support body, said lubricant agent applying part disposed in an upstream side from the cleaning blade with respect to a rotational direction of the image support body;
• and
• a toner removing part configured to remove toner particles, said toner removing part disposed in an upstream side from the lubricant agent applying part with respect to the rotational direction of the image support body.

An image forming apparatus, comprising:

• an image support body configured to support a latent image;
• an electrifying part configured to electrify a surface of the image support body uniformly;
• an exposing part configured to expose the electrified surface of the image support body based on image data to write a latent image;
• a developing part configured to develop the latent image to be visible by supplying toner particles to the latent image formed on the surface of the image support body;
• a transferring part configured to transfer the visible image on the surface of the image support body onto a transferring medium;
• and
• a cleaning part configured to clean the surface of the image support body after the transferring, wherein the cleaning part comprises:
• a cleaning blade disposed in contact with the surface of the image support body;
• a lubricant agent applying part configured to apply a solid lubricant agent to the surface of the image support body, said lubricant agent applying part disposed in an upstream side from the cleaning blade with respect to a rotational direction of the image support body;
• and
• a toner removing part configured to remove toner particles, said toner removing part disposed in an upstream side from the lubricant agent applying part with respect to the rotational direction of the image support body.

• a cleaning blade disposed in contact with the surface of the image support body;
• a lubricant agent applying part configured to apply a solid lubricant agent to the surface of the image support body, said lubricant agent applying part disposed in an upstream side from the cleaning blade with respect to a rotational direction of the image support body;
• and
• a toner removing part configured to remove toner particles, said toner removing part disposed in an upstream side from the lubricant agent applying part with respect to the rotational direction of the image support body.

A cleaning device for cleaning a surface of an image support body, comprising:

• means for cleaning the surface of the image support body;
• means for applying a solid lubricant agent to the surface of the image support body, and disposed in an upstream side from the means for cleaning with respect to a rotational direction of the image support body;
• and
• means for removing toner particles, and disposed in an upstream side from the means for applying with respect to the rotational direction of the image support body.
