PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent scattering of collected powder when a powder collection container is attached to a transport pipe provided on the side of an apparatus body to transport collected powder.SOLUTION: A powder collection device comprises: a transport pipe 2 for transporting collected powder produced in an apparatus body 1; a powder collection container 6 rotatably carried by way of a pivot center Pr provided in a lower edge portion of an attached-portion 1a of the apparatus body 1; a pipe-side opening/closing mechanism 3 for opening a discharge port 4 by moving an opening/closing lid 5 at the discharge port 4 in cooperation with an operating member provided in the powder collection container 6 when the powder collection container 6 is turned to a position to cover the attached-portion 1a on the side of the apparatus body 1; and a container-side opening/closing mechanism 7 for opening a collection port 8 by moving a container opening/closing lid 9 in cooperation with an operating member provided in the transport pipe 2 when the powder collection container 6 is turned to a position to cover the attached-portion 1a of the apparatus body 1. The discharge port 4 of the pipe-side opening/closing mechanism 3 is disposed on a side different from the apparatus body 1 relative to a vertical line L including the pivot center Pr of the powder collection container 6.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】装置本体側に設けられて回収粉体を搬送する搬送管に対して粉体回収容器を装着する際の回収粉体の飛び散りを防ぐ。【解決手段】装置本体１側で生成された回収粉体を搬送する搬送管２と、装置本体１側の被取付部１ａの下縁部に設けられた回転中心Ｐｒを介して回転可能に支持される粉体回収容器６と、装置本体１側の被取付部１ａを塞ぐ位置に粉体回収容器６を回転させたときに、粉体回収容器６に設けられた作動部材と係わって排出口４の開閉蓋５を移動させて排出口４を開放する管側開閉機構３と、装置本体１側の被取付部１ａを塞ぐ位置に粉体回収容器６を回転させたときに、搬送管２に設けられた作動部材と係わって容器開閉蓋９を移動させて回収口８を開放する容器側開閉機構７と、を備え、管側開閉機構３の排出口４は、粉体回収容器６の回転中心Ｐｒを含む鉛直線Ｌよりも装置本体１とは異なる側に配置される。【選択図】図１
