PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To constitute a developer handling device 1 equipped with a housing 2 having a storage part 2e for developer 3 and an aperture part 2f and a rotating member 4 rotating inside the housing 2 so that the housing 2 is comparatively easily assembled and disassembled and easily recycled even in the case of adopting constitution that the housing 2 is divided into two or more. SOLUTION: An upper housing 20 and a lower housing 30 obtained by dividing the housing 10 of a developing device into two up and down are joined and fixed by a plurality of locking projecting pieces 26 and locking holes 36 therefor formed on their bonding surface parts 25 and 35, and an elastically deformed snap-fit locking part 27 and a part to be locked 37 without adopting a fixing means such as screwing or welding. By fitting and attaching side brackets 40 and 50 at the ends of the joined and fixed housings 20 and 30, the joining state of both housings is strengthened. The housing can be recycled because it is not damaged when it is assembled and disassembled. |
