PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide the developer replenishing device capable of efficiently consuming by minimizing the residual developer in a container, and preventing the developer from leaking outside. SOLUTION: This device is allowed to secure the rigidity of a toner tank 10 by making an opening section 13 in a front section, on the toner tank 10, partially instead of all-over, while to secure the blank section in the periphery of the opening section 13, and as a result, the toner is prevented from leaking. Then, the device is composed so that the toner is replenished from the toner tank 10 toward an imaging cartridge by providing a flapper 24 equipped with a slanting region and a slit inside the toner tank 10, and by means of rotation thereof, collecting the toner inside the toner tank 10 in a range provided with the opening section 13 while pushing against the front surface. |
