supporting member, and a removed developer containing portion containing
the developer removed from the drum by the blade. The supporting member
includes: a supporting portion attached to the frame for supporting the
blade; a first bent portion bent from the supporting portion to an
opposite side to an attachment surface where the supporting portion is
attached to the frame; a connecting portion extending from the first bent
portion to the opposite side in the orthogonal direction; a second bent
portion bent from the connecting portion in the orthogonal direction and
in a lateral direction of the supporting portion; and an extension
portion extending from the second bent portion, in the orthogonal
direction and in the lateral direction.
