Abstract (en)
An image forming apparatus includes an image distributing device (40) for distributing a developing agent remaining on a photoconductive drum (2) after a image transfer. The distributing device has a holding member (42), and a brush (41) extending from the holding member and in sliding contact with the drum. The brush includes a first brush section (41a) having a distal end portion in contact with the drum, and a second brush section (41b) having a distal end portion extending beyond that of the first brush section and in contact with the drum. The drum and the distal end portions of the first and second brush sections define a cavity (46) for temporarily storing the residual developing agent on the drum. <IMAGE>
