<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a toner seal member that has a simple configuration, obtains high sealability, and contributes even to cost reduction. <P>SOLUTION: The toner seal member 66 has a cylindrical outer shape and has cuts 70 formed in its central part enabling a toner transfer port to be inserted therethrough. The cuts 70 have a cross shape that has a sidewise cut line 70a extending sidewise and a vertical cut line 70b extending vertically, as shown in the figure. The cuts 70 are formed on both the outside (external surface) 66a and inside (internal surface) 66b in the thickness direction of the toner seal member 66 so as not coincide with each other. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
