Abstract:
A developer supplying apparatus includes a developer carrying member, a casing, and a side seal. The developer carrying member includes a roller body and a brush part having fibrous members disposed on the peripheral surface. The developer carrying member is configured to carry a developer at the brush part. The casing includes a developer storing portion configured to store the developer, and has an opening formed along a rotation axis of the developer carrying member. The casing is configured to support the developer carrying member rotatably such that the brush layer is exposed outside from the opening. The side seal is disposed in an end of the opening in a direction along the rotation axis of the developer carrying member such that the side seal protrudes toward the brush layer to press the brush layer toward the rotation axis.
