An image forming device includes a paper dust removal unit that removes
paper dust from a photosensitive member. The paper dust removal unit
includes a brush-shaped member affixed to a plate by a two-sided tape.
The brush-shaped member is peeled off from the plate so as to re-use the
plate and the like of the paper dust removal unit. The tensile strength
of the two-sided tape is greater than the shear adhesive strength between
the two-sided tape and the plate, so that the two-sided tape is prevented
from tearing partway when the brush-shaped member is peeled off.
