摘要： A powder container (61) includes a powder containing unit (66) which has an opening portion formed at one end portion thereof, is configured to contain a powder (T) therein and, is formed of a flexible material so as to be deformable. When a delivery member (81) is pressed inward from the outside of the powder containing unit (66) so as to move toward the opening portion, the powder (T) is delivered out from the opening portion. The end portion provided with the opening portion is provided with a discharging unit (67) which is fixed to a powder conveying apparatus, and discharges the powder (T) delivered from the opening portion out to the powder conveying apparatus. In addition, an end portion opposite to the opening portion is provided with a portion to be locked which is locked to a locking portion of the powder conveying apparatus while being biased in a direction opposite toward the movement direction of the delivery member (81).

摘要： A developer bearing member on which grooves slanting in a thrust direction of the developer bearing member cross other grooves reversely slanting relative to the thrust direction, wherein each of the grooves and the reversely slanting grooves is slanting at an angle of greater than 0° and not greater than 40°. Any two adjacent intersections of the grooves and the reversely slanting grooves in the thrust (or peripheral) direction are preferably on different levels in the peripheral (or thrust) direction. The distance between two adjacent intersections in the thrust direction is preferably from 1.3 mm to 4.8 mm. The distance between two adjacent intersections in the thrust direction is preferably from 0.38 Vd/Vi (mm) to 1.1 Vd/Vi (mm). The deviation in depth of grooves present on a 36° arc surface portion of the member is not greater than 15% of the gap between the image bearing member and the developer bearing member.

摘要： A developing device includes a casing to contain developer and define a developer circulation passage, a developing roller to bear the developer, and at least one developer conveyor to convey the developer. The developer conveyor is disposed in the developer circulation passage and lower than the developing roller. The developing device satisfies M1/L2>0.56 g/cm and M1/M2>0.50, where M1 represents an amount of developer borne on the developing roller, L1 represents a width in which the developing roller bears the developer in a longitudinal direction of the developing roller; and M2 represents an amount of developer stored in the casing and excluding the amount of developer borne.
