Abstract:
A developer container includes: a developer container body including a developer supply port and a first shutter movement restriction groove on a surface of the developer container body; a shutter member movable from a close position to an open position of the developer supply port, the shutter member including a second shutter movement restriction groove such that the first and second shutter restriction grooves define a guide path when the shutter member closes the developer supply port at the close position; and a restriction member movable in the guide path and configured, when the restriction member is positioned in both the first and second shutter movement restriction grooves depending on an inclination of the developer container body, to prevent the shutter member from moving from the close position to the open position.
