Abstract

PURPOSE:To make the capacity of a vessel, sufficiently useful by providing a vessel for receiving a toner, etc. collected from a cleaner part so as to be freely rockable, and rocking its vessel. CONSTITUTION:A toner receiving vessel 8 is held on a flat plate 11 which is horizontally supported so as to be freely rockable in the right and left directions through a spring plate leg 10 on a substrate 9. As for a rocking mechaism of this vessel 8, a lever 13 being freely rockable in the upper and lower directions centering around a shaft 12 is provided on the substrate 9, a lower projecting piece 14 is provided on the lower surface of the flat plate 11, this projecting piece 14 and the tip of the lever 13 are connected threough a pin 15 and a long hole 16, also a solenoid 17 is held by the lever 13, the tip of a plunger 18 of its solenoid 17 is connected in advance to the lower projecting piece 14 of the flat plate 11 through a spring 19, and when the solenoid 17 is electrically conducted, the plunger 18 is drawn into the inside of the solenoid 17, therefore, the projecting piece 14 and the flat plate 11 are drawn to the right through the spring 19, and when it is turned off, they are returned to the left by force of restitution of the spring plate leg 10. In this way, the vessel 8 performs a rocking motion in the right and left directions.
