A toner container of the present invention stores powdery toner to be
replenished via a toner outlet thereof and includes a container body. A
shutter device is positioned in the toner outlet for selectively opening
or closing the toner outlet. The shutter device includes an
opening/closing member, a resilient member constantly biasing the
opening/closing member from the inside toward the outside of the
container body, and a support member supporting the resilient member and
opening/closing member. The toner container is simple and easy to mount
and dismount from an image forming apparatus while surely preventing the
toner from leaking.
