<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a developer supply kit that is excellent in the capability of carrying developer, maintains stable quantity of discharge from the beginning to the end, and is capable of substantially completely discharge the developer in a developer supply container. <P>SOLUTION: In the developer supply kit which has an opening 1a and a rotary carrying member 3 in developer container 1 and supplies developer T to an image forming device, the carrying member 3 has lifting parts 3a which lift the developer T in the developer container 1 as the carrying member 3 rotates, guide parts 3a which guide the developer T lifted by the lifting parts 3a toward the opening 1a as the carrying member 3 rotates, and dropping parts 3c which do not carry the developer T lifted by the lifting parts 3a toward the opening 1a but drop it down as the carrying member 3 rotates. The adhesive strength of the developer T after a vertical load of 128.4 g/cm<SP>2</SP>is applied is equal to or greater than 0.60 g/cm<SP>2</SP>but equal to or smaller than 3.00 g/cm<SP>2</SP>. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO |
