PURPOSE:To attach and detach very easily a recovered toner vessel to and from a carrying means by allowing the recovered toner vessel to rise or fall to press or detach its receiving hole to or from a joint member. CONSTITUTION:A recovered toner vessel 30 is slided on a vessel placing base 19 and is stored in a storage chamber 11, and an attaching/detaching lever 22 is raised toturn left cams 26 and 27, and the placing base 19 is pushed up and is turned slightly left, and then, a receiving hole 30a is pressed to a joint member 15 and is set, and a door 10 is closed. If the door 10 is tried to close when the receiving hole 30a is not pressed to the joint member 15, closing of the door 10 is stopped by the lever 22 projected to the outside, and therefore, leak of the toner is prevented when the copying operation is performed in the state where the setting connection is foregotton. Since the attaching/detaching lever 22 is operated to press and detach the receiving hole 30a of the toner vessel 30 to or from the joint member 15 and the vessel is attached to and detached from a toner carrying path only by this operation, the operability is made excellent. |
