PURPOSE: To provide a device for supplying a toner material to a electrophotographic system developing device being tunable between active and inactive positions with respect to a photoconductor. CONSTITUTION: The device is installed in a drawer 300 and supplies the toner material to the electrophotographic system developing device 40 being turnable around a revolving shaft 247 in a longitudinal direction, between the active and inactive positions, in the drawer. The device is connected to the developing device in the bottom end part of the device, turned around the revolving shaft 247 in the developing device and further, provided with a turnable stack having a toner path passing through the developing device. Moreover, the device is provided with a means for holding the top end part of the turnable stack at a position fixed against the revolving shaft and a means for sealing the bottom end part of a toner stack, with respect to the developing device, to prevent the leakage of the toner. |
