Abstract:
1. An image developing apparatus comprising: an upper case; a lower case disposed on and fixed to a lower side of the upper case, and internally housing a developing agent, and having an opening; a photoconductive drum disposed on the upper case for forming an electrostatic latent image on a surface thereof; a charging roller disposed on one side of an outer circumference of the photoconductive drum, for charging the photoconductive drum; a developing roller to cooperate with the photoconductive drum, and developing the electrostatic latent image; a fixing bracket coupled to an upper side of the lower case and supporting a regulating blade which regulates a thickness of a developing agent layer formed on a surface of the developing roller; and a scattering preventing unit disposed between the photoconductive drum and the developing roller, to prevent scattering of the developing agent supplied by the developing roller, said scattering preventing unit being coupled to said fixing bracket.
