Abstract

See full text

A toner cartridge includes a cylindrical casing configured so as to be rotatable, a discharge port discharging toner inside the casing to a storage section of a developing unit, and a plurality of slanted ribs on an inner circumferential surface of the casing with one or more discontinuous sections formed in between. The plurality of slanted ribs each include a first slanted rib located on a downstream side of the discontinuous section and a second slanted rib located on an upstream side of the discontinuous section with respect to a toner flow direction. A first end portion formed on the discontinuous section of the first slanted rib is disposed at a position relatively shifted by a predetermined length toward a toner inputting side in relation to a position on an extension line of a second end portion formed on the discontinuous section of the second slanted rib.
