PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a toner cartridge by which toner at the inside of a main body is wholly supplied. 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. A diaphragm 19 to assist stirring is provided at an area at which the stirring action of the stirring paddle 5 does not reach at the inside of the main body 23. The diaphragm 19 is arranged so as to come into contact with one of stirring wings 9 by the rotation of the stirring paddle 5. When the stirring wing 9 comes into contact with the diaphragm 19, the diaphragm 19 is rocked very much up and down, so that the toner is stirred. The toner at the area at which the stirring action of the stirring paddle 5 does not reach is stirred by the diaphragm 19, so that blocking is prevented. Thus, the toner at the inside of the main body is wholly supplied. |
