Abstract

PURPOSE:To discharge easily a developer, and also not to contaminate the circumference by a developer cloud, by providing a freely foldable cylindrical bottom plate on a discharge port formed on the bottom part of a developing housing. CONSTITUTION:A bottom plate 8 is a freely foldable cylindrical shape by an elastic material of rubber, etc., one side opening part 9 has a large diameter of the almost same shape as a discharge port 6, also the other side opening part 10 has a small diameter of the almost same shape as an inlet 12 of a vessel 11, and also a circumferential edge 9a of the large diameter opening part 9 is detained to a detaining groove 7 formed on the circumferential edge of said discharge port 6. In this state, at the time of a regular developing operation, the bottom plate 8 is folded, the small diameter opening part 10 side is squashed, and stuck and fixed to a bottom part 1c by a tape 13, and the discharge hole 6 is closed by the bottom plate 8. Also, when discharging a developer, the bottom plate 8 is extended and the small diameter opening part 10 is connected to the inlet 12 of the vessel 11, by which the developer is discharged and stored in the vessel 11 from the discharge port 6 by using the bottom plate 8 as a guide.
