Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent scattering of toner T in an image formation unit 20.SOLUTION: An image formation unit 20 has an image formation part 40 for forming an image and a developer storage part 30 for storing toner T. The image formation part 40 has a hook member 42a and a stopper 41, and the developer storage part 30 has a lever 32 and a cap 33. After mounting the developer storage part 30 on the image formation part 40, the hook member 42a and the cap 33 are engaged by rotating the lever 32 to an arrow A direction. Here, since a rotation to the direction opposite to the arrow A direction is regulated by the stopper 41, the engagement between the hook member 42a and the cap 33 cannot be released. Therefore, the developer storage part 30 cannot be removed from the image formation part 40. As a result, scattering of the toner attached to the developer storage part 30 can be prevented.
