A developer supply cartridge detachably mountable to a main assembly of an
image forming apparatus, includes a developer accommodating portion of
accommodating a developer; a discharging opening for discharging the
developer accommodated in the developer accommodating portion to a
developer receiving opening of a developer receiving cartridge provided
with developing means for developing an electrostatic image formed on an
image bearing member with the developer, the developer receiving
cartridge being detachably mountable to the main assembly of the image
forming apparatus; a shutter member movable between an opening position
for opening the discharging opening and a closing position for closing
the discharging opening; an engaging portion for engagement with the
developer receiving cartridge so as to receive, from the developer
receiving cartridge, a force for moving the shutter member from the
closing position to the opening position, in interrelation with a
relative movement between the developer supply cartridge and the
developer receiving cartridge toward each other in a
mounting-and-demounting direction of the developer supply cartridge
relative to the main assembly of the image forming apparatus.
