DEVELOPMENT DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

A development device includes a case, a developer carrier, an antiscattering part and a movement mechanism. The case has a supply port supplying developer to an image carrier in which an electrostatic latent image is formed. The developer carrier is rotatably positioned in the case, and develops the electrostatic latent image through the supply port by the developer. The antiscattering part prevents the developer from scattering from the supply port. The movement mechanism makes the developer carrier movable, in the case, between a developing position adjacent to the supply port and a housing position at a depth side from the developing position with respect to the supply port. The antiscattering part is moved, in conjunction with movement of the developer carrier, between an opening position adjacent to the developing position and a withdrawal position far from the opening position, while separating from the developer carrier.
