Abstract:
A developing device includes a rotating member that delivers developer to a latent image on an image carrier while rotating; a supplying member provided in a supply path extending in an axial direction of the rotating member; a stirring member including a stirring shaft extending in the axial direction and provided in a stirring path extending in the axial direction and arranged side by side with the supply path in a direction intersecting the axial direction, the stirring member stirring the developer while rotating by causing the developer to circulate between the supply path and the stirring path; and a preliminary member provided in a preliminary stirring path into which toner is supplied from an outside and provided by extending an end of the stirring path that is on a side where the developer delivered from the supply member is received by the stirring member, the preliminary member including an extension shaft as an extension of the stirring shaft and a helical transporting blade provided on the extension shaft, the transporting blade being divided into a first transporting blade and a second transporting blade provided across the first transporting blade from the stirring shaft, the preliminary member transporting the toner into the stirring path while rotating.

Claim (Index 5):
The developing device according to  claim 3 , wherein the first transporting blade and the second transporting blade are made out of phase by providing the space between the end part of the first transporting blade and the end part of the second transporting blade in the peripheral direction of the extension shaft.
