Abstract:
A developing device and image forming apparatus are provided. The developing device includes a chassis; a developer carrying member; a thickness regulating member; a supply member; and a conveying member. In a state in which the developing device is attached to a main body an opening of the chassis faces upward; the thickness regulating member pressure-contacts the developer carrying member from below the developer carrying member; the conveying member is disposed below the developer carrying member; the supply member overlaps a portion of the conveying member in a horizontal direction; and a portion of the conveying member is disposed within a vertical projection plane between a pressure-contact position of the thickness regulating member to the developer carrying member, and a contact position of the supply member to the developer carrying member. The image forming apparatus includes a main body; a plurality of photosensitive members; and a plurality of developing devices.

Claim (Index 11):
An image forming apparatus, comprising:\n a main casing; a developer cartridge detachably attachable to the main body in a first direction and configured to accommodate developer therein; a process unit detachably attachable to the main body in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction and comprising:\n a photosensitive body; \n a developer carrying member configured to rotate and to carry developer to the photosensitive body and disposed below the photosensitive body; \n a thickness regulating member configured to regulate a thickness of developer on the developer carrying member; and \n a developer moving member configured to rotate and move developer supplied from the developer cartridge; and \n a transfer member configured to transfer the developer from the photosensitive body, the photosensitive body being disposed below the transfer member.
