Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a conveyance member that can efficiently convey a powder adhered to an inner wall of a storage part compared with a case where a blade part with a uniform thickness is used, a powder storage unit, and an image forming apparatus.SOLUTION: A body part 84 has a projection 90 formed at its tip 84B, and the tip 84B of the body part 84 and the projection part 90 are in contact with an inner wall 51 of a storage part 50A. Thus, a toner T adhered to the inner wall 51 of the storage part 50A can be efficiently conveyed compared with a case where only the tip 84B of the body part 84 is in contact with the inner wall 51 of the storage part 50A.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】厚さ一定の羽根部を用いる場合と比して、収容部の内壁に付着している粉体を効率良く搬送することができる搬送部材、粉体収容ユニット、及び画像形成装置を得る。【解決手段】本体部８４の先端８４Ｂには、突出部９０が形成されている。このため、収容部５０Ａの内壁５１には、本体部８４の先端８４Ｂと、突出部９０とが接触している。これにより、本体部８４の先端８４Ｂだけが収容部５０Ａの内壁５１に接触する場合と比して、収容部５０Ａの内壁５１に付着しているトナーＴが効率良くに搬送される。【選択図】図２
