TONER REPLENISHMENT CONTAINER, AND ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGE FORMING DEVICE

摘要

PURPOSE: A container is provided to prevent a toner stain around a container shutter and to enable a user to take out the toner replenishment container which is used in inside an image forming device main body and which has a shutter capable of opening and closing to seal a toner discharging aperture. CONSTITUTION: The shutter(34) of a receiving device and the container shutter(16) are engaged with each other so that they are integrally opened and closed, and a sealing member(41) tightly sealing a gap with the shutter(34) is provided on the downstream side of the closing direction of the shutter(16). The member(41) is a flexible sheet, arranged on a surface of the container main body side of the shutter(16), and has an end face(41a) protruding from the shutter(16) toward the downstream side of the closing direction. A low frictional resistance material is arranged on the surface of the member(41) to reduce the sliding force with a packing material(35).
