PURPOSE:To smoothly carry a developing device by engaging an engaging means with an engaging part on an image forming device body side and fixing a base member on the device body by a freely attachably and detachably fixing means. CONSTITUTION:In order to attach a plural-developing device storing device Y to the body X' of the image developing device X, respective pins 21, 21' are inserted and engaged into/with horizontal holes 22, 22' formed on both sides in the vicinity of the developing device carrying inlet 2 correspondingly to the pins 21, 21' and then the base member 7 is fixed on the body X' by the freely attachably and detachably fixing means such as bolts. Thereby, a developing device feeding port 6 on the plural-developing device storing device Y side can be highly accurately positioned on the developer carrying inlet 2 on the body X' side. Consequently, a selected color developing device in the device Y is carried to the feeding port 6 by a carrying means (rack 23a and a pinion 23b) 23 and smoothly carried from the inlet 2 up to a developing position by a carrying means 23'.
