发明名称 Powder accommodation container and image forming apparatus
摘要 A powder accommodation container includes an accommodation container body that accommodates powder, a transport member and a discharge port. The transport member is arranged in an inside of the accommodation container body, rotates about a rotating shaft, and transports powder in the inside of the accommodation container body. The discharge port is provided on the accommodation container body and discharges the powder accommodated in the accommodation container body to an outside of the accommodation container body. The transport member includes a first transport piece transporting the powder toward the discharge port at a position corresponding to the discharge port, and a second transport piece arranged on a downstream side in a rotating direction of the rotating shaft than the first transport piece. The second transport piece has a length that is in non-contact with the inner surface at an immediate downstream of the discharge port in the rotating direction.
