PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a developer container constituting a developing device of an image forming apparatus, the developer container being capable of improving the conveying ability and the durability of a developer conveying member for conveying developer.SOLUTION: A rotation base member 13B of an agitator body (developer conveying member) 13 is rotated with a rotation axis 13A inside a container body 12, and when an agitator body (developer conveying member body) 13C made of elastic pieces is rotated with the rotation axis 13A as a center, developer (toner) accommodated into the container body 12 is agitated and conveyed by the rotation of the end portion of the agitator body 13C with the inner peripheral wall of the container body 12 elastically contacted thereto. At this time, since the agitator body 13C is biased to the downstream side from the upper stream side of the rotation direction by a biasing member 13D, an elastic return force is increased with the conveying ability of the developer improved. Thus, the reduction of the elastic return force is prevented and the durability is also improved. |
