Abstract
An electronic photographing apparatus has a cleaning apparatus for cleaning the surface of a photosensitive body. The cleaning apparatus includes a cleaning blade which is set so as to be able to touch and leave the surface of the photosensitive body. The cleaning blade removes the residual toner from the surface of the photosensitive body in the touching condition. The cleaning apparatus also includes a recovery member for collecting the developer removed by the cleaning blade, a casing for temporarily storing the developer collected by the recovery member, and a conveying member disposed opposite to the surface of the photosensitive body and adapted to convey the developer in the casing to a developer container outside the casing. The cleaning apparatus further includes a stirring member extending along the conveying member between the conveying member and the recovery member and adapted to oscillate, rock, and rotate, thereby stirring the developer in the casing.
