Abstract:
In accordance with an embodiment, a waste toner-storing container includes a container main body and a backflow-preventing member. A first storing chamber of the container main body includes a first storing space capable of storing an amount of waste toner discharged from a main body of an image forming apparatus, which is below a predetermined threshold. A second storing chamber of the container main body includes a second storing space that stores waste toner overflowing from the first storing space and discharged from the first storing chamber if the amount of waste toner exceeds the predetermined threshold. The backflow-preventing member prevents waste toner stored in the second storing space from moving into the first storing chamber.

Claim (Index 1):
A waste toner-storing container that stores waste toner discharged from an image forming apparatus, comprising:\n a container main body that is removably attached to a main body of the image forming apparatus in a first posture; a first storing chamber that is provided in the container main body, the first storing chamber including\n an introduction port that receives waste toner discharged from the main body of the image forming apparatus when the container main body is in the first posture, and \n a first storing space capable of storing an amount of waste toner introduced through the introduction port, which is below a predetermined threshold; \n a second storing chamber that is provided in the container main body, the second storing chamber including\n an inner discharge port that discharges waste toner overflowing from the first storing space from the first storing chamber if the amount of waste toner introduced through the introduction port exceeds the predetermined threshold when the container main body is in the first posture, and \n a second storing space that stores waste toner discharged from the inner discharge port; and \n a backflow-preventing member that is provided between the inner discharge port and the second storing space and prevents waste toner stored in the second storing space from moving into the first storing chamber.
