<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a compact device even when toner removing members are provided and to suppress aggregation of toner well even when the device is made compact. <P>SOLUTION: The device is composed of a container 22, spiral members 23 and 24, a partitioning member 34 and the toner removing members 36 and 37. The spiral members 23 and 24 are composed of shafts 32 and 33 and spiral blades 30 and 31 and convey the toner in the axial direction by rotating. The partitioning member 34 is formed along the axial direction of the spiral members 23 and 24 and on the side of the spiral members 23 and 24. The toner removing members 36 and 37 are provided extending toward the spiral members 23 and 24 from the partitioning member 34 so that they can come into contact with at least the surface of the blades of the spiral members 23 and 24 and the toner stuck to the spiral members 23 and 24 are removed by the rotation of the spiral members 23 and 24. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
