현상제를 수용하는 현상제 수용부와, 현상제 수용부에 수용된 현상제를 배출하는 배출구가 형성된 배출부와, 현상제 보급 용기(1)의 장착 동작에 수반하여 피걸림 결합부(11b)와 걸림 결합하고, 도입구가 배출구와 연통되도록 현상제 도입부(11)를 상측 방향 U로 변위시키는 걸림 결합부(30)를 구비하고, 걸림 결합부(30)는, 회전축(41)을 중심으로 회전 가능하게 마련됨과 함께, 피걸림 결합부(11b)와 끼워 맞추어지고, 피걸림 결합부(11b)를 보유 지지하는 보유 지지부(31)를 갖고, 장착 동작에 수반하여, 보유 지지부(31)에 보유 지지된 피걸림 결합부(11b)를 연직 방향 상측 방향 U를 향하도록 걸림 결합부(30)가 회전축(41)을 중심으로 하여 회전 이동한다. There are provided a developer accommodating portion for accommodating the developer, a discharge portion formed with a discharge opening for discharging the developer accommodated in the developer accommodating portion, and an engaging portion 30. The engaging portion 30 is engaged with an engaged portion 11b with a mounting operation of a developer supply container 1 to displace a developer receiving portion 11 in an upward direction U so that the receiving opening communicates with the discharge opening. The engaging portion 30 has a holding portion 31 which is provided rotatably about a rotation shaft 41 and is provided with holding portion 21 to be engaged with the engaged portion 11b to hold the engaged portion 11b. With the mounting operation, the engaging portion 30 rotates about the rotation shaft 41 so that the engaged portion 11b held by the holding portion 31 moves upward U.
