2. Description of the Related Art In general, a type of development in which the developer left on the photoreceptor after powder transfer is removed by a cleaning device, and the developer is deposited in a recovery container via a developer conveyance pipe provided with a conveyance means inside. In the developer recovery device, a collection container is installed on the front side of the copying machine so that the developer can be easily disposed of by service personnel or users. As the container becomes larger, the collection container gets in the way when handling paper jams or during maintenance, so the collection container is provided so that it can rotate relative to the copying machine main body, and the collection container can be removed from the copying machine when handling paper jams or performing maintenance. I try to avoid it from the front. In a copying machine equipped with a collection container of this type, rotation of the collection container separates the opening of the collection container from the opening of the developer transport pipe. There was an inconvenience in that the developer accumulated in the area overflowed to the outside and was scattered.
