A toner supply container and a toner supply device including the same are provided to enable the toner discharge opening of the toner supply container to be fastened to an image forming apparatus to be opened or released, thereby releasing the toner supply container from the image forming apparatus. A toner supply container(1) is attachably mounted to an image forming apparatus. The toner supply container includes a container body(1A), a supply unit, and a coupling member. The container body has an internal space configured to contain toner. The supply unit is configured to supply the toner in the container body to discharge the toner to the outside of the container body. The coupling member is configured to be coupled to a hollow round member equipped with the image forming apparatus. The coupling member includes a coupling portion(3), a support portion, and a displacement force receiving portion. The coupling portion is configured to be coupled to a hole formed in the circumference of the round member to receive a turning force from the round member. The support portion is configured to support the coupling portion and is displaced extrorsely in a radius direction so that the hole of the round member and the coupling portion are coupled by relative motion between the round member and the coupling member in a duplicate direction. The displacement force receiving portion is disposed in a position on the support portion closer to the container body than the coupling portion in the duplicate direction, and is configured to receive a displacement force for displacing the coupling portion introversively in the radius direction from a slidable hollow member(300) equipped with the image forming apparatus of the outside of the round member to permit relative motion for coupling and releasing between the round member and the coupling member in an opposite direction to the duplicate direction. |
