<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a developing device which can stably supply a developer to a latent image carrier by preventing the scattered developer from being discharged and thereby preventing the developer from being discharged despite the fact that the amount of the developer in the developing device does not increase, and to provide an image forming apparatus including the developing device. <P>SOLUTION: A block member 3 serving as a scattered developer discharge prevention member is provided so as to block a path through which the developer scattered due to a conveyance operation of a supply screw 8 serving as a developer conveying member moves toward a developer discharge port 94. Accordingly, the scattered developer is prevented from reaching the developer discharge port 94 and being discharged from the developer discharge port 94. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT</p> |
