A toner supply container, detachably mountable to a main assembly of an
image forming apparatus, for supplying toner to the main assembly of the
image forming apparatus, the toner supply container includes a main body
for accommodating the toner; a discharging opening for permitting
discharging of the toner accommodated in the main body of the container;
a container shutter member for opening and closing the discharging
opening; a rotatable member rotatably supported by the main body of the
container and having a drive transmitting portion for engaging with a
rotational force transmitting means provided in the main assembly of the
apparatus to transmit the rotational force to the rotational force
transmitting means; a rotating force receiving portion for receiving the
rotating force from the rotating force transmitting means through
engagement with the rotating force transmitting means, wherein the
container shutter member is given a force for opening and closing the
discharge opening by the rotating force received by the rotating force
receiving portion; wherein when the toner supply container is not mounted
to the main assembly of the apparatus, the rotatable member is rotatable
relative to the main assembly of the container between a first position
and a second position away from the first position in a rotational
direction of opening the container shutter member by a predetermined
rotational angle; the rotatable member being provided with a contact
portion which is contacted by the main assembly of the apparatus to
direct the rotatable member to the second position when the drive
transmitting portion and the rotating force transmitting means are
engaged to mount the toner supply container to the main assembly of the
apparatus.
