Abstract:
A cleaning apparatus and a fixing apparatus include a cleaning web configured to remove toner adhering to a rotation member, the cleaning web including a recessed portion in at least a part thereof, and a displacement mechanism configured to situate a relative position between the rotation member and a pressure member configured to press the cleaning web toward the rotation member at a first position where the cleaning web is pressed toward the rotation member by the pressure member and at a second position where the rotation member and the pressure member are farther from each other than at the first position. The displacement mechanism situates the relative position at the second position based on an output of a detection position configured to detect a position of the recessed portion, so that a rear end of the recessed portion is not pressed toward the rotation member by the pressure member.

Claim (Index 1):
A cleaning apparatus comprising:\n a rotation member; a cleaning web configured to remove toner adhering to the rotation member, the cleaning web including a recessed portion in at least a part thereof; a pressure member configured to press the cleaning web toward the rotation member; a moving mechanism configured to move the cleaning web so that the cleaning web is moved between the rotation member and the pressure member; a detection unit configured to detect a position of the recessed portion; and a displacement mechanism configured to situate a relative position between the rotation member and the pressure member at a first position where the cleaning web is pressed toward the rotation member by the pressure member and at a second position at which the rotation member and the pressure member are farther from each other than at the first position, wherein the displacement mechanism is configured to situate the relative position at the second position based on an output of the detection unit so that a rear end of the recessed portion is not pressed toward the rotation member by the pressure member.
