Abstract

A waste toner storing container includes a container main body, a first conveyance portion, and a second conveyance portion. The container main body stores waste toner discharged from a plurality of image-carrying members provided in an image forming apparatus. The first conveyance portion is rotatably provided in the container main body and configured to, by being rotated, convey the waste toner toward one side in a direction along a rotation axis line. The second conveyance portion is rotatably provided below and parallel to the first conveyance portion in the container main body and configured to, by being rotated, convey the waste toner toward another side that is opposite to the one side.

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...
