PURPOSE:To prevent easily a toner from being formed to blocks to supply toner smoothly by transmitting a rotation to a toner box after converting the rotation to a shaking motion to shake the toner box. CONSTITUTION:A shaft 12 piercing box-side walls 11a and 11b (omitted in the figure) is provided with a helicoid 12a in the bottom part of a toner box 11, and the toner is fed to a toner supply hole omitted in the figure while agitating the toner by the helicoid 13a. A screw 16 is fitted to the shaft 12 to stick the shaft 12 to a lever 14. The lever 14 has idle holes 14a and 14b in upper and lower parts, and a pin 15 fixed to the side wall 11a of the toner box is inserted loosely to the hole 14a, and a pin 19 stood on a screw 18 engaged with the screw 16 is inserted loosely to the hole 14b. When the shaft 12 supported by supporting brackets 13a and 13b (omitted in the figure) is turned by a driving source omitted in the figure, the toner box 14 is shaked simultaneously with supply of the toner 20 by the lever 14. Thus, the toner 20 is easily prevented from being formed to blocks, and the toner 20 is fed smoothly. |
