A toner container for use in an electrophotographic image forming device, comprising: a housing having a reservoir for storing toner; a drive shaft positioned in the reservoir, the drive shaft is rotatable about a rotational axis in an operative rotational direction; and a toner agitator that extends outward from the drive shaft in the reservoir, the toner agitator is rotatable around the rotational axis of the drive shaft as the drive shaft rotates in the operative rotational direction, the toner agitator is pivotable relative to the drive shaft about a pivot axis that is offset from the rotational axis of the drive shaft, the pivot axis of the toner agitator is fixed relative to the rotational axis of the drive shaft, the toner agitator is biased relative to the drive shaft in the operative rotational direction toward an extended position of the toner agitator, the toner agitator moves from the extended position to a retracted position of the toner agitator when the toner agitator pivots about the pivot axis from the extended position counter to the operative rotational direction, a distal end of the toner agitator is positioned farthest from the rotational axis of the drive shaft when the toner agitator is in the extended position, wherein a radial length of the toner agitator from the rotational axis of the drive shaft to the distal end of the toner agitator is greater when the toner agitator is in the extended position than when the toner agitator is in the retracted position, wherein the toner agitator is pivotally mounted about the pivot axis to a drive arm (162, 163) that extends radially from the drive shaft and that is fixed to rotate with the drive shaft characterized by that the toner agitator includes an arm (164, 165) that is pivotally mounted to the drive arm (162, 163) at the pivot axis of the toner agitator, a proximal end of the arm (164, 165) is positioned proximate to the drive shaft when the toner agitator is in the extended position and the proximal end of the arm (164, 165) projects forward in the operative rotational direction ahead of the drive arm (162, 163) when the toner agitator is in the retracted position. a housing having a reservoir for storing toner; a drive shaft positioned in the reservoir, the drive shaft is rotatable about a rotational axis in an operative rotational direction; and a toner agitator that extends outward from the drive shaft in the reservoir, the toner agitator is rotatable around the rotational axis of the drive shaft as the drive shaft rotates in the operative rotational direction, the toner agitator is pivotable relative to the drive shaft about a pivot axis that is offset from the rotational axis of the drive shaft, the pivot axis of the toner agitator is fixed relative to the rotational axis of the drive shaft, the toner agitator is biased relative to the drive shaft in the operative rotational direction toward an extended position of the toner agitator, the toner agitator moves from the extended position to a retracted position of the toner agitator when the toner agitator pivots about the pivot axis from the extended position counter to the operative rotational direction, a distal end of the toner agitator is positioned farthest from the rotational axis of the drive shaft when the toner agitator is in the extended position, wherein a radial length of the toner agitator from the rotational axis of the drive shaft to the distal end of the toner agitator is greater when the toner agitator is in the extended position than when the toner agitator is in the retracted position, wherein the toner agitator is pivotally mounted about the pivot axis to a drive arm (162, 163) that extends radially from the drive shaft and that is fixed to rotate with the drive shaft characterized by that the toner agitator includes an arm (164, 165) that is pivotally mounted to the drive arm (162, 163) at the pivot axis of the toner agitator, a proximal end of the arm (164, 165) is positioned proximate to the drive shaft when the toner agitator is in the extended position and the proximal end of the arm (164, 165) projects forward in the operative rotational direction ahead of the drive arm (162, 163) when the toner agitator is in the retracted position.
