PURPOSE:To manage with only one kind of container even when the granule storage capacity is different, and prevent a periphery from being stained by forming a container main body which contains granules of an elastic material capable of expanding and contracting, and providing a closing member which closes the opening after granules are pressurized and contained. CONSTITUTION:The main body part 16 of the container 15 for supplementation is formed in a balloon shape of the elastic material capable of expanding and contracting such as rubber. Then, an external screw 17 for connecting with the toner supplementary port 12 of a machine box 13 is cut in the outer periphery of a funnel-shaped connection part 18, which is fitted to the entrance 16A of the container main body part 16; and the tape type closing member 19 which clamps the mouth of the container main body part 16 is provided. Toner is put in the container main body part 16' through the connection port 18 while proper air pressure is applied, and the main body part 16 expands with the pressure and is filled with a necessary amount of toner. Then, the month of the main body part 16 is narrowed down and closed with the tape type closing member 19 and thus the toner 20 is enclosed in the container main body part 16 which swells in the balloon shape. |
