An image forming apparatus includes a rotatable image bearing member; a
charging member for electrically charging the image bearing member;
developing device means for developing an electrostatic latent image
formed on said image bearing member into a toner image and for collecting
toner from the image bearing member; transfer device means for
transferring the toner image onto a transfer material; a brush member
rotatable in a direction identical or opposite to a rotational direction
of the image bearing member and disposed downstream from the transfer
device means and upstream from the charging member in the rotational
direction of the image bearing member, the brush member contacting
transfer residual toner while being supplied with a DC voltage of an
opposite polarity to a normal charge polarity of the toner; and a moving
member for moving the toner in a rotational axis direction of the brush
member while contacting the brush member.
