PURPOSE: To improve operabilities in an initial stage and to prevent a user from being soiled with toner by providing a shielding member in a device main body and cutting a toner leakage route, while permitting the supply of the toner from a toner housing part to a developing roller. CONSTITUTION: When the device main body 11 is vibrated or dropped or the like, at the time of transporting the device 11, in a state where the toner housing part 12 of the device 11 is filled with the toner T, the toner T in the housing part, 12 is violently flowed and tries to flow out along the toner leakage rout TR, but the outflow of the toner can be prevented because the route TR is cut by the shielding member 21. Moreover, this shielding member 21 functions as a reinforcing rib, to enhance the structure strength of the device 11, so that even if the device 11 is vibrated or dropped at the time of transporting, the deformation of the device 11 is small and a press-contact state with outer periphery of a supplying roller 14 is kept. Since the route TR can be surely cut, the outflow of the toner can be prevented from this point as well. |
