<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a developer container capable of efficiently sending a developer stored therein to the outside, and a developing device including the developer container. <P>SOLUTION: An agitator 111 rotating around an agitator shaft 107 is disposed in a box casing 100 of a toner box 24. The curved wall 103 of the box casing 100 is circularly curved so as to be recessed toward the inside of the box casing 100 with a reference line X extending to the outside of the box casing 100 in a radial direction of the agitator shaft 107 as a curvature radius center. As for the curved wall 103, a supply port 104 is formed on the upstream side in the passing direction of the rotating agitator 111. Accordingly, the supply port through which the toner sent to the outside passes is arranged on the rotating track of the agitator 111, and the supply port 104 is made to face the rotating agitator 111 from the downstream side in the rotating direction of the agitator 111. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
