PURPOSE:To easily supply a developer only by loading and rotating a developer container and to prevent it from scattering out by cutting a tape adhered to the discharge port of the developer container with the cutting blade in a supply chambe when the developer container having the tape adhered to the discharge port is loaded in the supply chamber. CONSTITUTION:The toner container 2 which has the soft tape 10 adhered to the long hole 5 is loaded in the supply chamber of a copying machine, and then the cutting blade 21 of the cutting means 4 in the supply chamber cuts the tape 10 to open the long hole 5. The tape 10 is adhered in a tensed state initially, so a large opening part is formed only by making one cutting line therein. Then, the container 12 is rotated by a half with a grip 12 to discharge the toner through the long hole 5. Thus, the toner container is only loaded and rotated by a half to easily supply the toner and also prevents it from scattering out. |
