<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus that can reliably cool the inside of a toner container to prevent solidification of toner, while suppressing complexity of a manufacturing process and an increase in manufacture cost and avoiding the rise of a problem of an installation space.SOLUTION: An image forming apparatus according to the present invention includes a toner container 18 that has a plurality of toner container-side ribs 35 provided on its upper face, an accommodation part 26 that removably accommodates the toner container 18 and has a plurality of accommodation part-side ribs 41 provided thereon, and a paper ejection tray 4 that is provided above the accommodation part 26. When the toner container 18 is attached to the accommodation part 26, the toner container-side ribs 35 and accommodation part-side ribs 41 form a plurality of continuous partition walls 48, and a duct 50 is formed above the toner container 18, below the paper ejection tray 4, and between the plurality of the partition walls 48. The plurality of partition walls 48 are formed radially from the upstream side toward the downstream side of the duct 50, and the duct 50 increases its width toward the downstream side.</p> |
