Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent scattering of a toner to surrounding when replenishing the toner by providing a cover in an opening, interposing a sealing member between the cover and opening and providing a supply port for replenishing the toner in a part of the sealing member. CONSTITUTION:A cover 4 that can be opened and closed freely in the vertical direction by a hinge 3 is attached to an opening 2 for replenishing toner. A bellowslike sealing member 5 made of rubber or synthetic resin capable of expansion and contraction and having flexiblity is interposed between the cover 4 and opening 2 for replenishing toner. A supply port 6 for replenishing toner is provided in a part of the sealing member 5. When replenishing the toner, the sealing member is extended by opening the cover 4, and the supply port 6 which is closed until that time is opened to the outside. When the mouth of a toner container is inserted into the supply port 6 and inverted gradually, the toner 8 is replenished into the body 1 of a toner bottle. The toner 8 floats in the air, but scattering to the outside is prevented by the sealing member 5.
