<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a developing device capable of avoiding increase in a cross-sectional area and increase in a rotational speed of a stirring screw even when an image output speed is increased, and capable of forming a favorable image without uneven density, and to provide a process cartridge and an image forming apparatus. <P>SOLUTION: The developing device includes a plurality of units each configured to include at least a developer carrier in a casing, in which one unit and the other unit can be assembled as in contact with each other in portions facing each other along the longitudinal direction. The plurality of units are configured in such a manner that a member constituting a wall portion at one end in the longitudinal direction of the casing, the wall portion in an opposite side to the developer carrier 35, can be removed, that a connecting member 40 is fitted to the space where a predetermined portion of the member constituting the above wall portion is removed, and that the developer recovered by one unit can be circulated and supplied to the other unit through the connecting member. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT</p> |
