IMAGE FORMING DEVICE, DEVELOPING DEVICE FOR IMAGE FORMING DEVICE AND TONER CARTRIDGE FOR IMAGE FORMING DEVICE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a highly reliable toner cartridge for an image forming device capable of reducing a total cost by realizing simplification of a toner cartridge structure and reliably feeding toner to a supply port.

SOLUTION: An agitating body 32 which feeds toner into a supply section 34 while agitating the same is provided inside a toner container 31. The agitating body 32 includes: a rotationally driven agitating shaft 38; and a blade 39 which is mounted on the agitating shaft 38 and rotates in close contact with an agitating concave section 33 of the toner container 31. Both edges of the agitating shaft 38 are protruded out through shaft passing ports 40 which are open on peripheral walls of the toner container 31 and surround the agitating shaft 38 with a gap around the same. The both edges of the agitating shaft 38 are supported so as to be eccentrically rotatable by elastically deformable bearing bodies 41 which double as seal bodies fit in bearing bosses 49 of the toner container 31. The blade 39 eccentrically rotates the agitating shaft 38 in a state that the blade 39 internally contacts with the agitating concave section 33.
