<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a developer replenishment container to/from the body of which a conveyance member is attached and detached through a discharge opening, and in which developer which can not be pumped out from the inside of the container and is left is reduced. <P>SOLUTION: The conveyance member 3 integrally rotates with a horizontally arranged container body to dip up the developer to be slid down to a supply port on one end of the container body. A fixing part 1d and baffles 3a1, 3a2 are separated by a slit 3e, and connected to each other by conveyance ribs 3b1, 3b2. In the conveyance ribs 3b1, 3b2, plate-like parts 3b3, 3b4 which are connected neither to the fixing part 3d nor to the baffles 3a1, 3a2 are secured in the middle of the fixing part 3d and the baffles 3a1, 3a2. Thus, when diameters of the baffles 3a1, 3a2 are reduced, the plate-like parts 3b3, 3b4 are reversibly and elastically deformed. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
