TONER CONTAINER

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To stably and surely replenish the toner without staining hand or peripheral equipment in attaching/detaching a toner container by providing a toner container comprising a toner container body of the prescribed shape and a shutter turnably arranged on a tip part on which an opening of the toner container body is formed. SOLUTION: A turnable shutter 16 is arranged on a tip part of a toner container 15, and an opening 19 for flowing out the toner is usually shut by a shutter 16. A projected, continuous spiral rib 45 is formed on an inner surface of the container body of the toner container 15, and a space between the container body and a tip part of the opening for flowing out the toner is formed of a slope 46 in which one circumferential surface is of projected inclination inward, and a toner drawing part 47 of the diameter approximately the same as that of the container body in which the other circumferential surface is the toner drawing part. The toner is fed by a spiral rib 45 and stored in the toner drawing part 47, and the container is turned in this condition to allow the toner to be dropped toward the slope 46, and the toner slides on the slope surface and is replenished into a hopper from an opening 19.
