    摘要: A developing device includes a developer bearer including a magnetic field generator, a developer regulator disposed opposite the developer bearer across a regulation gap, a developer containing compartment disposed below the developer bearer, and a conveying screw disposed in the developer containing compartment and including a shaft having a diameter greater than a radius of the conveying screw. On a cross section perpendicular to an axial direction of the conveying screw, a developer scooping pole of the magnetic field generator to scoop the developer from the developer containing compartment onto the developer bearer is disposed between the regulation gap and a bisector dividing an angle extending from a first line, which connects a center of the developer bearer and a center of the conveying screw, to a second line, which connects the center of the developer bearer and the regulation gap, in a rotation direction of the developer bearer.

    摘要: A powder container contains powder and is attached to an image forming apparatus including: a conveying nozzle to convey the powder; a powder receiving hole of the conveying nozzle to receive the powder from the powder container; an apparatus main-body gear to transmit a driving force to the powder container; and a container receiving section including the conveying nozzle and receiving the powder container. The powder container includes: an opening at one end of the powder container in a longitudinal direction; a nozzle receiver at the opening to receive the conveying nozzle; a conveyor to convey the powder; and a container gear to drive the conveyor by meshing with the apparatus main-body gear. The container gear is to mesh with the apparatus main-body gear at a position closer to the opening than the powder receiving hole in the longitudinal direction. The opening is to mate with the container receiving section.

    摘要: A developing device includes a plurality of conveyance passages, an opening portion, and a filter. Developer is conveyed in the plurality of conveyance passages in a longitudinal direction of the developing device. The opening portion is disposed in one conveyance passage of the plurality of conveyance passages and communicates with an outside of the developing device. The filter is fitted in the opening portion and has both a collecting ability to collect the developer and a ventilation ability to ventilate the one conveyance passage to the outside of the developing device. The collecting ability of the filter is higher in a high-bulk portion in which bulk of the developer increases in the one conveyance passage than in a low-bulk portion in which the bulk of the developer decreases in the one conveyance passage. The ventilation ability of the filter is lower in the high-bulk portion than in the low-bulk portion.
