<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To steadily supply developer while controlling the amount of developer being supplied. <P>SOLUTION: Each of restricting members 106a and 106b has the form of a roll. Two recessed grooves 108 separated 180° from each other are formed in the peripheral surface of each of the restricting members 106a and 106b. A third developer stirring member 68 rotates to stir developer in a developer stirring chamber 58 and convey it to a developing chamber 60. In addition, since the scraping parts 134a and 134b of the third developer stirring member 68 enter the grooves 108 of the restricting members 106a and 106b, developer sticking to the grooves 108 are scraped. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
