PURPOSE:To prevent toner blocking by attaching elastic sheets having a suitable number of through-holes into a cantilever state to the side walls on the upper side of an agitator provided in a toner box and oscillating elastically said sheets by the rotation of the agitator. CONSTITUTION:A toner box 2 is provided on the upper side of a feed roll 1 and an agitator 3 driven by a motor 4 is attached in the bottom thereof. Elastic sheets 6 having a suitable number of through-holes 7 are attached into a cantilever state to the side walls of the box on the upper side of the shaft part of the agitator 3. The sheets 6 are elastically oscillated by the rotation of the agitator 3. A toner 5 is thus uniformly agitated to the corners of the box and the blocking of the toner is nearly thoroughly prevented. |
