Abstract

See full text

A developer container includes a frame configured to store developer, a conductive member provided on the frame, and a conductive contact member formed of resin on an outer side of the frame so as to be in contact with a part of the conductive member that is exposed from the frame to establish conduction. The contact member includes a protruding portion that is disposed at a portion to be in contact with the conductive member and protrudes toward the conductive member. The conductive member includes an engaging portion that is formed to fit with the protruding portion and configured to engage with the protruding portion. As a result, stable conductivity is secured by simplifying the configuration of the contact member for electrically connecting the conductive member provided on the frame, to an image forming apparatus main body.
