Abstract:
A stirring conveyance member includes a rotary shaft, a first spiral blade, and a second spiral blade. The first spiral blade has first cutouts each provided in a specific region adjacent to and upstream of a point of intersection with the second spiral blade in the conveyance direction of the powder by the first spiral blade. The second spiral blade has second cutouts each provided in a specific region adjacent to and upstream of a point of intersection with the first spiral blade in a conveyance direction of the powder by the second spiral blade. A radial height of the first spiral blade in portions where the first cutouts are provided is lower than a radial height of the second spiral blade in portions where the second cutouts are not provided.
