<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a toner cartridge in which mutual interference of scrapers of stirring members is prevented and the meshing position of gears can be easily defined, and which can be easily assembled. <P>SOLUTION: The toner cartridge 28 includes a cartridge body 35, a plurality of stirring members 63 and 64 arranged next to each other, a plurality of gears 67 and 68 meshing with each other outside of the cartridge body, and a phase display section 90. The stirring members have scrapers 65 and 66, respectively, that scrape the toner adhering to an inner surface of the cartridge body. The gears rotate to rotate the stirring members in an interlocked manner with each other. The phase display section shows the meshing position of the gears so that the gears mesh with each other at a position where a phase difference along a rotating direction of the stirring members occurs between the scrapers of the stirring members that are next to each other. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
