Abstract

A waste toner storing container includes a container main body, a conveyance guide portion, a conveyance portion, a conversion portion, a moving member, and a restriction member. The container main body stores waste toner. The conveyance guide portion has an inclined guide surface that guides the waste toner diagonally downward from a reception port. The conveyance portion is rotatably provided in the inside of the container main body. The conversion portion converts a rotational motion of the rotation shaft to a reciprocating motion in conjunction. The moving member reciprocally moves in a direction along the inclined guide surface by a force of the reciprocating motion received from the conversion portion. The restriction member restricts the moving member from being displaced upward from the inclined guide surface by pressing the moving member toward the inclined guide surface. An image forming apparatus is also provided.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a waste toner storage container for storing waste toner discharged from an image carrier, and an image forming apparatus provided with the waste toner storage container. Background technique [0002] A cleaning device of an electrophotographic image forming apparatus has a container for temporarily storing the waste toner, and the container is provided with a screw conveyor. The waste toner stored in the container is conveyed in one direction by the screw conveyor, and is discharged to the outside from a discharge portion provided in the container. The discharge part is connected to the waste toner storage part, and the waste toner discharged from the discharge part flows into the waste toner storage container and is stored in the waste toner storage container. [0003] A color image forming apparatus having a plurality of photosensitive drums has a plurality of cleaning devices. In addition, the color image forming a...
