PURPOSE:To prevent scattering of a toner during supply not to make the worker dirty, by providing a closing valve, which is provided in the aperture part of a supply vessel, and a valve operating rod, which operates this valve, as one body through the inside of the vessel. CONSTITUTION:A toner 5 is supplied from an injection hole 15, and the injection hole 15 is closed with a seal 16; and a cover 17 of this supply vessel 10 is removed, and the aperture part of the vessel is connected to a supply hole 1a of a developing tank 1. A vavle operating rod 14 is pulled forward to pull away a closing valve 13 from the inside wall of the vessel, and then, the toner 5 is flowed out and is supplied into the tank 1. Consequently, the supply vessel 10 and the tank 1 are connected easily, and the toner is not scattered during the toner supply, and the worker and the copying machine are not dirtied. Since the handle part of the operating rod 14 is in a recessed part 12 of the rear part of the vessel when it is not used, it is not operated erroneously. |
