<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a toner cartridge which is hardly affected by an external environment during storage and is less likely to produce toner leakage, and to provide an image forming apparatus using the toner cartridge. <P>SOLUTION: The toner cartridge 70 has a bottle 71 for storing toner and conveys toner in the bottle 71, in the direction of an opening 72 as the bottle 71 rotates. In the toner cartridge, a tube insertion member 74 for inserting a tube member 82 fixed to the body of the image forming apparatus is fixed in the opening 72. This makes it easy to attach a sealing member to the opening 72, thus sealing the opening 72 through which outside air and moisture passes. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
