<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide stable stirring performance and conveying performance in a miniaturized developing device. <P>SOLUTION: A toner stirring member 4b has a rotating member 14b and a blade member 24b. The rotating member 14b includes a shaft 114b freely rotatably attached to a developing unit main body 4a, an extended section 214b extended outward from the shaft 114b and a support section 314b provided on the top end side of the extended section 214b. The blade member 24b includes a base end part 124b attached to the support section 314b and a stirring section 224b stirring developer. In such a stirring member 4b, the support section 314b of the rotating member 14b is provided in the extended section 214b of the rotating member 14b, so that the shaft 114b of the rotating member 14b is located between the base end part 124b of the blade member 24b and the top end part of the stirring section 224b of the blade member 24b, in such a state that the top end part of the stirring section 224b of the blade member 24b is in contact with the inner surface of the developing unit main body 4a. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
