<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an easy-to-handle developer storage container that allows supply of developer with one action without paying careful attention to leakage of developer, and to provide an image forming apparatus. <P>SOLUTION: Each developer storage container storing toner for forming an image on recording paper has a female opening 21 and a male opening 22 to connect the developer storage containers. The openings have peripheral edge parts 23 and 24 connected and joined, and passage apertures 25 and 26 are made in the peripheral edge parts 23 and 24 so as to allow passage of the stored toner. The passage aperture is closed with a film 27 cut by a cutting member 31 during the connection and joint, and taken up between an inserting member 33 and an accommodating member 34. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
