Abstract:
A developing device, includes a first storage chamber that stores developer; a first conveyor that is disposed in the first storage chamber and conveys developer; a developer supporter that is disposed so as to face an image supporter, supports developer conveyed from the first conveyor, and conveys the supported developer to a developing position where an electrostatic latent image formed on the image supporter is developed; a second storage chamber that stores developer conveyed via the developing position and communicates with the first storage chamber at a confluent opening; a second conveyor that is disposed in the second storage chamber and conveys developer conveyed via the developing position toward the confluent opening; and a third storage chamber that stores developer overflowing in a case where an amount of developer in the second storage chamber becomes a predetermined amount or more.

Claim (Index 5):
The developing device of  claim 4 , wherein the third storage chamber and the first storage chamber are disposed so as to be above and below each other, the communication path is extended vertically, a height of a top surface of a side wall of the third storage chamber disposed on a communication path side is lower than a height of a top surface of a side wall close to the developer supporter among two side walls disposed along a rotation axis direction of the developer supporter and surrounding the second storage chamber, and developer having gotten over the side wall disposed on the communication path side from the third storage chamber falls into the first storage chamber at the lower side via the communication path.
