A toner fillable cartridge for use with the development device includes a blow-molded resin body, at least one protrusion integrally formed on the blow-molded resin body, and a toner box shielding member rotatable in relation to the blow-molded resin body to selectively seal a toner exhaust port. The toner box shielding member includes at least one lateral bearing surface that slidingly engages with the at least one protrusion integrally formed on the blow-molded resin body. A method of forming a toner fillable cartridge includes blow-molding a resin toner body sealable at each end and having a toner exhaust port section formed between each end; and providing at least one integrally blow-molded protrusion on the toner body structured to slidingly engage and guide a lateral surface of a toner box shielding member rotatable in relation to the blow-molded resin body. <IMAGE> |
