PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a toner cartridge to wholly supply toner at the inside of a main body. SOLUTION: A carrying spiral 4 to carry the toner and a stirring paddle 5 to stir the toner are arranged at the inside of the main body 23 of the toner cartridge 1. Plural stirring wings 9 are formed on the peripheral surface of the rotary shaft 8 of the stirring paddle 5. A contact projected piece 12 having width as long as about one pitch of a spiral blade 7 is formed at two stirring wings 9 out of the plural stirring wings 9, and the rotary shaft 8 is rotated, so that it is brought into contact with the spiral blade 7. The contact projected piece 12 comes into contact with the spiral blade 7, and the toner is vibrated, so that blocking is prevented. Thus, the toner at the inside of the main body is wholly supplied. |
