Abstract
A cleaning device for use in an electrophotographic apparatus for removing developer toners remaining on the surface of the photosensitive element after transfer printing a developed image therefrom to a receptor sheet. The cleaning device is provided with a cleaning device comprising a resilient inner member and an outer member provided thereon and frictionally contacted with the element to generate triboelectrical charges of opposite polarity to that of charges existing on the photosensitive element, at the time of being in frictional contact therewith.
