Abstract
Abstract A toner cartridge comprises a cylindrical cartridge body (1) having a toner discharge port formed in a part of a peripheral surface thereof along its longitudinal direction, a pivot shaft (2) disposed at the axis of the body, and a toner pressure feeding member (4) jointed to the pivot shaft through a plurality of connecting rods (3) and adapted to discharge toner contained in the body from the toner discharge port. The toner pressure feeding member (4) is disposed in parallel relation with the pivot shaft. A group of connecting rods, which are not located in a position corresponding to the toner discharge port, of all of the connecting rods are diagonally disposed with respect to the pivot shaft with an end of each of the group of connecting rods jointed with the pivot shaft situated at the side of the toner discharge port. The group of connecting rods are provided at the side of the pivoting direction with a toner guiding portion.
