A developer conveying member, a developer container, an image forming apparatus, and a method for assembling the developer conveying member are provided to enable a through hole, through which a second radial direction extension portion is penetrated, to prevent a conveying member body from being separated from an end supporting member due to an impact. A developer conveying member has a conveying member body(22) and an end supporting member(23). The conveying member body rotates around the axis of rotation to convey developer in a conveying direction. The end supporting member supports the conveying member body and rotates. A supported portion(22f,22g) is rotatably supported on the end supporting member of the conveying member body. The supported portion has a first radial direction extension portion(22g) and a second radial direction extension portion(22f). The first radial direction extension portion is extended in a first radial direction from the axis of rotation of the conveying member body. The second radial direction extension portion is continuously formed in the first radial direction internal end portion of the first radial direction extension portion, and is extended in a second radial direction inclined for the first radial direction from the axis of rotation of the conveying member body. The end supporting member has a cylindrical portion(23b). The cylindrical portion has a supporting portion for supporting the supported portion of the conveying member body. The supporting portion has a hole-shaped through hole(23b3) and a groove portion(23b2). The hole-shaped through hole supports the second radial direction extension portion, is penetrated in the second radial direction from a recessed portion in the axial direction to the outside of the cylindrical portion, and has a greater external diameter than that of each of the first and second radial direction extension portions. The groove portion supports the first radial direction extension portion, is penetrated in the first radial direction from the recessed portion in the axial direction to the outside of the cylindrical portion, and is formed in a greater width than the external diameter of the first radial direction extension portion up to the end portion of the cylindrical portion. |
