<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a processing apparatus for preventing the occurrence of image fogging and toner cloud, by suppressing fluid movement due to a slope of a two-component developer or toner between a processor storing part and a toner-storing part and preventing excessive supply or the like of the toner to stably maintain toner density, and to provide an image forming apparatus that uses the same. <P>SOLUTION: The processing apparatus comprises a rotating supply member 45, arranged in a toner supply part 37 and having a rotating shaft substantially parallel to the rotating shaft of a developer carrier 32. The processing apparatus comprises forming a recess part 45d for storing and carrying the toner on the outer periphery part of a rotating supply member 45, and forming a narrow gap 37s so as to obstruct communication with a developer-storing part 33 and a toner-storing part 35, regardless of the rotating position of the rotation supply member 45, between the outer peripheral face 45s of the rotation supply member 45 and inner wall faces 39s and 31s of the toner supply part 37. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
