<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cooling structure equipped with constitution for securing cooling action without causing upsizing and further surely preventing a phenomenon such as the scattering of toner in cooling, for a developing device equipped with a toner supply mechanism. <P>SOLUTION: The cooling structure for the developing device 126K equipped with the toner supply mechanism 300 is equipped with a means 400 for cooling the developing device 126K by an air current. By setting the generating direction of the air current by the cooling means 400 to nearly the same direction as a toner supply direction toward the developing device 126K, and pressing the toner at an attaching part 201 on the developing device 126K side to which a toner supply path 303 is attached, the air current for cooling is used also to prevent the scattering of the toner. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
