Cleaning device and image-forming device
A cleaning device comprises: a rotational brush disposed to touch an image holder and a lubricant, the brush which scrapes the lubricant and applies the scraped lubricant to the image holder, the brush including: a rotational axis; and a plurality of looped bristles disposed around the rotational axis, wherein a contact length of the bristles to the lubricant is longer than a contact length of the bristles to the image holder.
1. A cleaning device comprising:
a rotational brush disposed to touch an image holder and a lubricant, the brush which scrapes the lubricant and applies the scraped lubricant to the image holder, the brush including:
a rotational axis; and
a plurality of looped bristles disposed around the rotational axis, wherein
a contact length of the bristles to the lubricant is longer than a contact length of the bristles to the image holder, and
wherein a pressing force at which the lubricant presses the bristles is larger than a pressing force at which the bristles press the image holder and is more than 0.7[N] and less than 2.5 [N].
2. The cleaning device of claim 1 , further comprising a pressing member which presses the lubricant on the brush.
3. The cleaning device of claim 1 , wherein the lubricant is a solid lubricant.
4. The cleaning device of claim 1 , further comprising a remover behind the brush in a rotational direction of the image holder, the remover which removes a residue from the image holder.
5. An image-forming device comprising:
an image holder;
a lubricant; and
a rotational brush disposed to touch the image holder and the lubricant, the brush including:
a rotational axis; and
a plurality of looped bristles disposed around the rotational axis, wherein
a contact length of the bristles to the lubricant is longer than a contact length of the bristles to the image holder, and
wherein a pressing force at which the lubricant presses the bristles is larger than a pressing force at which the bristles press the image holder and is more than 0.7[N] and less than 2.5 [N].
6. A cleaning device comprising:
a rotational brush disposed to touch an image holder and a lubricant, the brush which scrapes the lubricant and applies the scraped lubricant to the image holder, the brush including:
a rotational axis; and
a plurality of looped bristles disposed around the rotational axis, wherein
a contact length of the bristles to the lubricant is longer than a contact length of the bristles to the image holder, and
wherein the bristles are larger than 2 denier and smaller than 4 denier, fiber density of the bristles is more than 100 [kF/inch^2] and equal to or less than 180 [kF/inch^2], and a diameter of the brush is larger than 11 [mm] and smaller than 12[mm].
7. The cleaning device of claim 6 , further comprising a pressing member which presses the lubricant on the brush.
8. The cleaning device of claim 6 , wherein the lubricant is a solid lubricant.
9. The cleaning device of claim 6 , further comprising a remover behind the brush in a rotational direction of the image holder, the remover which removes a residue from the image holder.
10. An image-forming device comprising:
an image holder;
a lubricant; and
a rotational brush disposed to touch the image holder and the lubricant, the brush including:
a rotational axis; and
a plurality of looped bristles disposed around the rotational axis, wherein
a contact length of the bristles to the lubricant is longer than a contact length of the bristles to the image holder, and
wherein the bristles are larger than 2 denier and smaller than 4 denier, fiber density of the bristles is more than 100 [kF/inch^2] and equal to or less than 180 [kF/inch^2], and a diameter of the brush is larger than 11 [mm] and smaller than 12[mm].
