PURPOSE:To facilitate the assembling/disassembling of a developing container and a cleaning container so as to improve recycling efficiency by providing a lid member for covering the opening part of a developer container for storing a developer, and making this lid member removable. CONSTITUTION:The opening edge part of a toner container 10a is provided with a connecting hole part 10a3, and a lid body 10f is provided with a hook part 10f1 lockable to the hole part 10a3. An opening part 10a2 can be closed by the lid member 10f by fitting-locking the hook part 10f1 into the connecting hole part 10a3. With the lid member 10f fitted in this way, the lid member 10f can be removed easily at the recycling time by releasing the lock of the hook part 10f1. In the same way, the opening edge part of a waste toner container is provided with a connecting hole part, and a lid body is provided with a hook part lockable to the hole part. With the lid members thus fitted respectively to the toner container 10a and the waste toner container, assembling/ disassembling is facilitated without using an ultrasonic welder or the like. |
