ABSTRACT:
A cleaning apparatus for cleaning a surface of a member by scraping residual particles off the surface. The apparatus has a blade with a forward edge in pressing contact with the surface, the blade being supported for movement from a position in which it is in pressing contact with the surface of the member to be cleaned to a position in which it is retracted from the surface of the member. A cleaning member for removing particles from the forward edge of the blade when the blade is in the contact position and is supported in pressing contact with the blade in the vicinity of the forward edge on the side of the blade facing the uncleaned area of the surface and on which particles are deposited when the blade is in the contact position in such a way as to cause the cleaning member to move with the blade during the movement of the blade from the contact position to the retracted position and, while remaining in pressing contact with the one side of the blade, to move from the vicinity of the forward edge to the forward edge during the movement of the blade toward the retracted position. Thus as the blade is retracted, the particles deposited on the forward edge of the blade are scraped off by the cleaning member moving in sliding pressing contact with the forward edge.
