Abstract: A developer container includes a housing, a sealing member, and a winder mechanism. The housing includes a storage space and an opening. The sealing member is attached to the housing and sealing the opening. The winder mechanism winds up the sealing member while peeling the sealing member from the housing. The winder mechanism includes an interrupting member operable to interrupt transmission of a torque of a drive transmission mechanism owing to a tension of the sealing member caused by peeling a fold side of the sealing member that includes a first end from the housing.

Abstract: A developer container includes a container body, a movable wall, a shaft, and a stirring member. The container body is formed with a developer discharge port. The developer discharge port lies at a position higher than a lowest part of the container body. The movable wall includes an outer surface slidably in close contact with an inner surface of the container body, and a conveying surface defining a storage space for the developer. The movable wall conveys the developer to the developer discharge port from a predetermined initial position owing to repeated movements of the movable wall in the first direction and a second direction. When the shaft is rotated in a first rotational direction, the movable wall moves in the first direction, and when the shaft is rotated in a second rotational direction opposite to the first rotational direction, the movable wall moves in the second direction.
