Abstract:
A developing apparatus includes a rotatable developer carrying member, a first chamber to supply developer to the developer carrying member, and a second chamber to collect the developer from the developer carrying member. A first conveyance screw in the first chamber conveys the developer in a first conveyance direction, and a second conveyance screw conveys the developer in the second chamber. The second conveyance screw includes a rotary shaft, a first vane portion, and a second vane portion provided downstream of the first vane portion. A developer discharge portion is disposed upstream of the second vane portion in the first conveyance direction and discharges excess developer. The developer discharge portion is disposed in a predetermined area of the second chamber in which the developer is deliverable to a communication portion, and is provided in a bottom portion in the predetermined area of the second chamber.
