Abstract:
A toner case includes a case main body, a rotator, a transmitter, a moving mechanism and a manipulation member. The rotator rotates around a rotation axis. At least a part of the rotator is stored in the case main body. The transmitter is arranged outside the case main body and transmits rotation to the rotator. The manipulation member is arranged outside the case main body. As the manipulation member moves from a first manipulating position to a second manipulating position, the moving mechanism moves the transmitter from a first position to a second position which is arranged at an outside of the first position in a rotation axis direction of the rotator. As the manipulation member moves from the second manipulating position to the first manipulating position, the moving mechanism moves the transmitter from the second position to the first position.
