PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a reliable toner replenishing container capable of replenishing a device main body with a toner by providing a sealing member used for the toner replenishing container which can be attached to/detached from the device main body, a sealing part for sealing a toner replenishing aperture part unsealably and a driving part for driving a toner carrying member. SOLUTION: A sealing member 3 is attached to a tip part projecting to the outside of an extended part 2C of a carrying member 2 movably in the axial direction. The member 3 is provided with four functions. Namely, the device is provided with (1) a function to seal a toner replenishing aperture part 1a, (2) a function to receive the transmission of rotational driving force from the device main body, (3) a function to transmit the rotational driving force to the carrying member 2 and (4) a function to engage the device with an engaging member 6 provided in the device main body in order to open/close the aperture part 1a. Then, the sealing member 3 transmits the driving force received from the device main body to a shaft part 2A through the extended part 2C to rotate the member 2. |
