<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a toner cartridge capable of stably supplying a predetermined and large amount of toner while reducing a stress applied to the toner. <P>SOLUTION: In a toner bottle 2 provided in the toner cartridge, a toner bottle discharge hole 31 is formed at a slope face 32, on the end of the toner bottle 2, inclined from the perpendicular surface of an axis L1 toward the upstream side of the toner conveying direction in the direction of the axis L1. The toner bottle 2 includes, at the end thereof, a retraction space 35 that is subsided inward the toner bottle 2 at a side of a slope face 32 in the rotating direction upstream side of the toner bottle 2 and enclosed with a side face 33 provided at the side of the slope face 32, and a guide slope face 34 inclined in the gradient direction of the slope face 32. The normal line of the guide slope face 34 is inclined in the rotating direction downstream side of the toner bottle 2. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
