Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a conveyance member that can efficiently convey a powder adhered to an inner wall of a storage part compared with a case where a blade part with a uniform thickness is used, a powder storage unit, and an image forming apparatus.SOLUTION: A body part 84 has a projection 90 formed at its tip 84B, and the tip 84B of the body part 84 and the projection part 90 are in contact with an inner wall 51 of a storage part 50A. Thus, a toner T adhered to the inner wall 51 of the storage part 50A can be efficiently conveyed compared with a case where only the tip 84B of the body part 84 is in contact with the inner wall 51 of the storage part 50A.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】厚さ一定の羽根部を用いる場合と比して、収容部の内壁に付着している粉体を効率良く搬送することができる搬送部材、粉体収容ユニット、及び画像形成装置を得る。【解決手段】本体部84の先端84Bには、突出部90が形成されている。このため、収容部50Aの内壁51には、本体部84の先端84Bと、突出部90とが接触している。これにより、本体部84の先端84Bだけが収容部50Aの内壁51に接触する場合と比して、収容部50Aの内壁51に付着しているトナーTが効率良くに搬送される。【選択図】図2
