A toner vessel for use in a copying machine includes a square dish-shaped vessel body which is opened at the upper part, is provided with an outwardly projecting flange at the peripheral edge of said opening and receives the toner therein. The opening of the vessel body is covered with a lower part of a twice-folded cover sheet and its periphery is fitted on said flange. A cover plate, covering the lower part of this cover sheet, is mounted on the vessel body movably in the horizontal direction. A slit is provided in a place on the portion of this cover plate near the folded portion of the cover sheet, and simultaneously a projection for removing the toner is provided on the inside in the neighborhood of this slit on the side opposite to the folded portion. A folded upper portion of the cover sheet is designed to pass through the slit and then extend through the head of the projection for removing the toner along the back of the cover plate.
