ABSTRACT:
A cleaning blade is arranged such that a tip end thereof is brought into contact with a toner image carrying member in an upwardly directed state, to scrape off residual toner from the toner image carrying member. A casing body defines a waste toner chamber accommodating the scraped toner therein. The casing body is formed with an air passage communicated to an exterior of the casing body, so that an air stream is created within the waste toner chamber.
