A transporting device for developer powder has magnetic roll (20) positioned within a sleeve (4). Vibrating plate (6) has a magnetic portion (9) disposed facing the sleeve (4). The vibrating plate starts to vibrate due to the alternation of the magnetic field produced by the rotation of the magnetic roll, whereby developer powder (7) in a container flows along the surface of the vibrating plate and is then transported to the rotating sleeve (4). The developer powder attracted on the surface of the sleeve is applied to the image-bearing surface, thereby developing an electrostatic latent image into a visible image. <IMAGE> |
