A developer container has a main part accommodating a developer therein
and is detachably attached to a main part of an image forming apparatus.
The developer container comprises an outlet provided at a side of the
developer container to discharge the developer from the developer
container. An input unit is provided adjacent to the outlet and has a
small-diameter portion an inside diameter of which is smaller than a
diameter of the container main part wherein, when the developer container
is attached to the image forming apparatus, the input unit is engaged
with a drive motor of the image forming apparatus to receive a rotating
force of the drive motor. A developer guiding unit causes the developer
inside the developer container to be moved to the outlet beyond the
small-diameter portion of the input unit by rotation of the developer
container.
