<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a developer cartridge, an agitating member, and an image forming apparatus that can give a component in a direction along a rotary shaft to the conveying direction of a developer and in addition can convey a sufficient amount of the developer. <P>SOLUTION: Two slits 86 are formed on a film 64 of an agitator 40 from its free edge. The slits 86 section the film 64 into three regions 64A, 64B, and 64C which are divided almost equally in an axial direction. At both axial ends of a film holding member 81, support plates 88 which extend from the film holding member 81 to the free edge side of the film 64 are provided opposite axially outside end parts of the regions 64A and 64C at both ends of the film 64. Consequently, when the agitator 40 rotates, larger stress is generated at the axially outside end parts of the regions 64A and 64C at both the ends than at axially inside end parts of the regions 64A and 64C at both the ends and at a center region 64B. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
