Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A toner container detachably attachable to an image forming apparatus body. The toner container includes a recovery container body in which at least one inflow port is formed for inflow of a toner recovered after image formation, and at least one rotating member that is rotatably provided to convey the recovered toner, which flows from the inflow port into the recovery container body, to a downstream side in a recovery toner conveyance direction. The rotating member includes a screw member and a spiral screw member. A discharge port, which is formed at the downstream side in the recovery toner conveyance direction, discharges the recovered toner in the recovery container body. A cover member, which is arranged to be detachably attachable to the recovery container body and has a bearing portion fitted to a downstream end in the recovery toner conveyance direction of the rotating member, covers the discharge port.
