A toner container for supplying and/or replenishing toner into a development
apparatus
of image forming apparatus, by being engaged with the rotation transfer member
of the development apparatus and being rotated about a center axis of the toner
container integrally with the rotation transfer member. The toner container is
structured with a cylindrical body having a toner outlet on one end of the cylindrical
body, nearby a center axis of the cylindrical body, a convex spiral flute formed
on the inner periphery of the cylindrical body, and a concave spiral flute formed
on the outer periphery of the cylindrical body, wherein a ratio L/D of length L
to diameter D of the cylindrical body is in a range of L/D10,
a thickness of the cylindrical body t is 0.3 mmt5.0 mm; and a thickness
deviation of the cylindrical body is t20%.
