An electrophotographic image-forming device comprising a toner carrier having toner and an end seal member for preventing leakage of the toner from an end of the toner carrier, wherein the end seal member comprises a rectangular sealing member having a step comprising a projecting region and a recessed region forming a stripe in the form of a band of linear configuration, said sealing member having: - a toner scraping angle (α) at the end seal member, wherein the toner scraping angle (α) is greater than the toner angle of repose (θ), and - a contact surface which contacts a surface of the toner carrier, said recessed region being made to bend in a direction of the toner carrier due to bending load from contact pressure between the end seal member and the toner carrier, said sealing member being configured for controlling entry of the toner into the sealing member and being configured for scraping and transferring the toner, a control angle being formed in a linear direction from the projecting region and the recessed region at the surface of the sealing member for return of the toner to the toner carrier or a toner storage container or a temporary toner storage container and for prevention of leakage of the toner to an exterior from the toner carrier due to surface velocity of the toner carrier or rotation of the toner carrier, said end seal member being provided with said recessed region and an edge of said projecting region for preventing leakage of the toner from the toner carrier, and wherein the rectangular sealing member is woven fabric comprising combination of weaving patterns made in satin weave and plain weave or combination of weaving patterns made in satin weave and twill weave, and the control angle is an angle in a direction causing return of the toner to the storage container that temporarily stores the toner or the container that stores the toner, and a region on a surface of the sealing member at the step between the projecting region and the recessed region of the stripe is formed from a warp yarn, the recessed region having a structure which allows it to bend easily, wherein the toner scraping angle (α) is the angle formed by the toner carrier and a radiused region of the projecting region of yarn of the woven fabric which contacts the toner carrier, wherein the control angle is set so as to be in a toner flow direction causing toner to be returned to the toner container constituting toner carrier. wherein the end seal member comprises a rectangular sealing member having a step comprising a projecting region and a recessed region forming a stripe in the form of a band of linear configuration, said sealing member having: - a toner scraping angle (α) at the end seal member, wherein the toner scraping angle (α) is greater than the toner angle of repose (θ), and - a contact surface which contacts a surface of the toner carrier, - a toner scraping angle (α) at the end seal member, wherein the toner scraping angle (α) is greater than the toner angle of repose (θ), and - a contact surface which contacts a surface of the toner carrier, said recessed region being made to bend in a direction of the toner carrier due to bending load from contact pressure between the end seal member and the toner carrier, said sealing member being configured for controlling entry of the toner into the sealing member and being configured for scraping and transferring the toner, a control angle being formed in a linear direction from the projecting region and the recessed region at the surface of the sealing member for return of the toner to the toner carrier or a toner storage container or a temporary toner storage container and for prevention of leakage of the toner to an exterior from the toner carrier due to surface velocity of the toner carrier or rotation of the toner carrier, said end seal member being provided with said recessed region and an edge of said projecting region for preventing leakage of the toner from the toner carrier, and wherein the rectangular sealing member is woven fabric comprising combination of weaving patterns made in satin weave and plain weave or combination of weaving patterns made in satin weave and twill weave, and the control angle is an angle in a direction causing return of the toner to the storage container that temporarily stores the toner or the container that stores the toner, and a region on a surface of the sealing member at the step between the projecting region and the recessed region of the stripe is formed from a warp yarn, the recessed region having a structure which allows it to bend easily, wherein the toner scraping angle (α) is the angle formed by the toner carrier and a radiused region of the projecting region of yarn of the woven fabric which contacts the toner carrier, wherein the control angle is set so as to be in a toner flow direction causing toner to be returned to the toner container constituting toner carrier.
