A developer supply case and an image forming apparatus are provided to prevent malfunction by a user and to confirm that the developer supply case is reliably inserted in a combined part by installing sustaining parts at a handle lock opened combined part and a handle lock sealed combined part and rotating a handle on a handle mounting part. A supply opening(2-1) and a shutter guide rail(2-2) are formed on a bottom of a case body(2). A charging port, position setting pins, and a coupling hole are formed at one end of the case body. Sustaining parts(2-6) and a handle mounting part(2-7) are formed at the other end of the case body. Position setting ribs(2-8), guide rails(2-9), and incompatible ribs(2-10) are placed at two sides of the case body. A step rib(2-11) is formed on a top of the case body. The position setting pins are provided at right and left sides of an end having the charging port. A developer supply case is fixed at a hopper. The sustaining parts are kept to mount the developer supply case in the hopper. A handle lock opened combined part(2-7-1) and a handle lock sealed combined part(2-7-2) have the sustaining parts. The handle is rotated on the handle mounting part. |
