Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent toner leakage, and also, to fit a container shutter to a toner cartridge by a simple work. SOLUTION: A rib 278 having an oblique side 278a is formed at the edge part 272 of a container shutter 27. When the container shutter is rotated to a direction A2 for blocking up a toner feed port, the oblique side 278a is abutted against an abutment face 224 to guide the edge face 278b of the rib 278 to the side wall of a support part 221. In this case, the distance d between the edge face 278b of the rib 278 and the edge part 273 thereof is a value not exceeding the distance (a) between the support parts 221 and 222, and they are set to almost the same value. In this way, the container shutter 27 is supported by the support part 221 and the support part 222 without jouncing, and toner leakage can be prevented. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
