Abstract:
A developer container includes a containing portion that is capable of containing a developer therein, the containing portion having an opening through which the developer passes; a first opening/closing member that is movable between a first open position at which the opening is open and a first closed position at which the first opening/closing member closes the opening; and a second opening/closing member that is movable between a second closed position at which the second opening/closing member doubly closes the opening by covering an outside of the first opening/closing member and a second open position at which the first opening/closing member is exposed to the outside, wherein a direction in which the second opening/closing member moves between the second open position and the second closed position is different from a direction in which the first opening/closing member moves between the first open position and the first closed position.
