Abstract: In a xerographic printing apparatus, a blade is used to clean the surface of a rotating photoreceptor. At an end of the blade is disposed a flexible sealing member. The sealing member includes a bulk portion, one part of which contacts the surface of the photoreceptor and another part of which is attached to a stationary surface. Extending from the bulk portion is a tab which defines a diagonal edge. A portion of the diagonal edge contacts a surface of the blade.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electrophotographic device including a braid sticker making it possible to provide a functional housing, enabling the electrophotographic device to operate while preventing suspended toner particles from leaking out to a wrong area in the device, at the circumference of a photodetection body.
SOLUTION: In an electrophotographic printer, the surface of the photodetection body 10 which rotates is cleaned by using a blade 22. At an end part of the blade 22, a flexible seal member 70 is provided. The seal member 70 has a main body part 76 and a portion of it comes into contact with the surface of the photodetection body 10 while the other part is fixed to a stationary surface. A tab forming an oblique edge 72 is extended from the main body part 76. A portion of the oblique edge 72 comes into contact with the surface of the blade 22.
