Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for brushing chalk powder off from an eraser surface of a blackboard eraser in which elastic brushes attached to rotatable shafts of rotatable bodies are brushingly engaged with the eraser surface and are rotated in forward and reverse directions by a motor so that the chalk powder removed from the eraser is collected in chalk powder receiving containers. After the passage of a set time interval, the operation of the apparatus is automatically stopped. A chalk powder containing eraser and the now clean eraser inside the apparatus can be exchanged. Thus, dispersion of powder into the room is prevented.
