Abstract:
A developing device includes: a developing tank that is long in shape and that stores a developer; and a developer carrier that carries the developer stored in the developing tank. The developing tank includes a filling portion through which the developing tank is filled with the developer, the developer carrier is provided on one side in a width direction that is orthogonal to both a longitudinal direction of the developing tank and a vertical direction of the developing tank, and the filling portion is provided on the other side of the developing tank in the width direction, the other side is apart from the developer carrier.

Claim (Index 2):
The developing device according to  claim 1 , wherein\n two or more flow paths through each of which the developer is caused to pass are formed in the developing tank, and the developer is caused to pass through a first flow path that is one of the two or more flow paths on the one side in the width direction, and the developer is caused to pass through a second flow path that is another one of the two or more flow paths on the other side in the width direction, the second flow path being further apart from the developer carrier than the first flow path is, and the filling portion is provided for the developing tank so that the developer flows into the second flow path.
