REPLENISHING MECHANISM FOR DEVELOPING STATION OF PRINTING DEVICE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a replenishing mechanism capable of supplying particle material from a receptor to a reservoir arranged separately and preventing the particle material from being lumped. SOLUTION: This replenishing mechanism is equipped with a housing equipped with a pair of end wall bodies and a pair of flexible side walls; a carrying device realizing the movement of the particle material between the housing and the reservoir arranged separately; and a blade body device provided to act on the flexible side wall and preventing the particle material in the housing from being lumped by bending the side wall. Then, the blade body device is equipped with a 1st turning rod arranged separately from the housing and supporting a blade body, a 2nd turning rod disposed on the blade body and connected to a reciprocative acting arm, and a lever turnably attached to the 2nd turning rod. When the blade body is turned around the 1st turning rod by the acting arm, the lever is turned around the 2nd turning rod to bend the flexible thin film near the 1st turning rod, and a particle material bridge near it is crushed.
