DEVELOPING DEVICE AND ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC APPARATUS EQUIPPED WITH THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a developing device for suppressing an increase in rotation load by reducing remaining toner.

SOLUTION: A sheet-like separation member 29 having a plurality of holes is disposed between a toner storage chamber 26 and a toner collecting chamber 28. A rotating stir member 32 in the toner collecting chamber 28 has a crank shape having no shaft in its rotation center. The member 32 has a plurality of sheet-like conveying members 33 at the leading end of the crank shape so as to correspond to the holes of the separating member 29. The sheet-like conveying members 33 fit into the holes of the sheet-like separating member 29 by the rotation of the rotating stir member 32.
