<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the occurrence of density unevenness at an end of a developer holding body. <P>SOLUTION: A developing device (Gy) comprises: a first inflow part (E1) for carrying a developer from a second housing chamber (7) to a first housing chamber (6) by raising the developer in a direction opposite to a direction of gravity; and a first conveying member (21) which is disposed in the first housing chamber (6) and conveys the developer raised by the first inflow part (E1). Further, the first conveying member (21) has a rotary shaft (22) and a blade (23) supported by the rotary shaft (22); and the blade (23) has a blade (23e) which has a smaller inclination angle with respect to an axial direction of the rotary shaft (22) in a portion corresponding to the first inflow part (E1) than a blade (23d) on downstream of a portion corresponding to the first inflow part (E1) in a conveyance direction of the developer so that the developer raised in the direction opposite to gravity is drawn up in the first inflow part (E1). <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
