Abstract: A residual toner removing apparatus which generally comprises four sections communicating with one another, i.e., a cleaner section including a cleaner brush rotatably provided in a housing which has an opening adjacent to a photoreceptor surface, and a duct section which extends from the above housing to a filter section which is in turn followed by a suction section having a fan. Toner particles removed from the photoreceptor surface by the cleaner brush are dislodged from the brush bristles upon contact with a flicker rod to which an air flow regulating plate is fixed and efficiently carried by air flows, through proper gaps, air passages or a slit, into the filter section in which a filter is enclosed.
