Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To enable the normal cleaning of a second cleaning roller even when the device is turned off and the temperature of a fixing roller is restored to a room temperature by inclining the abutting face of a second cleaning roller and a blade against each other in the direction of the rotation of the second cleaning roller.

The abutting face 7 of a second cleaning roller 4 and a blade 5 against each other is inclined in the direction of the rotation of the second cleaning roller 4. One end of the abutting face 7 is positioned vertically a specific distance apart from the central shaft line of the second cleaning roller 4, and the other end is also positioned only a specific distance apart from it. In such a structure, a first cleaning roller 3 applies silicone oil to a fixing roller 1, and clears away toner 10 etc., remaining on the fixing roller 1. Then, the second cleaning roller 4 cleans the first cleaning roller 3, and, further, the second cleaning roller 4 is cleaned by the blade 5 abutting against it.
