PURPOSE:To facilitate supplementing operation and to prevent a toner from scattering to the environment by filling an elastic bag body with the toner, and providing a draw-out cord to this bag body and storing it in the cartridge of a cartridge case. CONSTITUTION:The toner cartridge 1 constituted by filling the elastic bag body 2 with a toner is stored in the toner cartridge storage part 6, and the draw-out cord 3 is led out of the cartridge storage part 6 at this time. Then, a cover body 7 is closed and a pointed member 10 provided in the cover body 7 strikes the bag body 2 constituting the toner cartridge 1 to break the bag body. Consequently, the charged toner is supplied to a toner bottle 4 and the broken bag body 11 is prevented by the draw-out cord 3 to fall in the toner bottle 4. Thus, the toner supplementing operation is facilitated and the toner is prevented from scattering to the environment. |
