The conveying member is rotatably disposed in the powder storage unit and conveys the powder stored in the powder storage unit to an outlet. The elastic member includes: an upper end portion fixed to the inside of the powder storage unit; and a lower end portion which is a swingable free end and is disposed above the conveying member. A part of the lower end portion along the conveying direction of the conveying member is configured to contact with the conveying member to be elastically deformed.
