Zusammenfassung: | An image forming apparatus includes a developing apparatus including a housing having a supply opening to receive developer supplied by a pump unit, a developing device screw disposed in a discharge path of the housing to supply and discharge the developer through a discharge opening to an image bearing member, and a developer bearing portion having a magnetic body that generates a magnetic force and is configured to bear the developer with a carrying force working in a substantially perpendicular direction to the magnetic force. In addition, a developer accommodation portion within the housing accommodates the developer supplied from a supply opening and has no opening other than the supply opening and the discharge opening, with the developer accommodation portion having a space volume capable of suppressing a spouting force caused by an inner pressure increase due to operation of the pump unit. |
