| Abstract | A removable unit for an electrophotographic image forming device according to one example embodiment includes a housing having an inner volume forming a toner reservoir and a channel for accumulating toner. An auger advances toner within the channel and has a rotational axis and a flight. An agitator is mounted on an inner surface of the housing and is positioned to extend toward the auger. The agitator has a first segment and a second distal segment connected to the first segment. When the auger rotates, the flight of the auger engages the agitator causing movement of the second distal segment to push toner accumulated in the channel into the auger. |
