PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electrostatic latent image developing device capable of making the layer thickness of a toner layer formed on the periphery of a developing roller uniform as a whole in an axial direction by making the press-contact force of a blade with the developing roller uniform as a whole in a width direction, even if a deviation in the parallelism of the blade with the developing roller occurs by the deviation in the axis of the developing roller, etc. SOLUTION: The electrostatic latent image developing device 8 is provided with the developing roller 40 disposed in a developing housing 30 and a developer regulating means 70 for regulating the quantity of developer held on the periphery of the developing roller 40. At this time, the developer regulating means 70 is provided with the blade 71 which is brought into press-contact with the periphery of the developing roller 40 and made of plate glass having flexibility, a supporting plate 72 attached to the blade 71 and an elastic energizing means 73 consisting of plural spring members which are arranged at the rear of the supporting plate 72 with certain intervals in the width direction. The plate thickness of the blade 71 made of the plate glass is set 0.5-2.0. |
