PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide such a toner replenishing device that the carriage efficiency of toner is good, the operation efficiency and the operation cost are improved and moreover, the generation of unpleasant noise is prevented, with respect to the toner replenishing device provided with an agitating member for agitating toner in a toner replenishing vessel and a transporting sheet. SOLUTION: On the leading edge part of a transporting sheet being set in the length being longer than rotary radius of the agitating member, to the extent of sliding on the inside wall of a toner replenishing tank, a sliding member whose frictional resistance is small is disposed. The sliding member is preferably formed, so that the coefficient of friction is small, of a soft elastic member, and being thinner than the thickness of a transporting sheet Moreover, it is preferable to form a notched part and to dispose an opening port part on a edge part. |
