Abstract:
A toner case includes a toner storage portion, a cylindrical portion, a shutter member, and a biasing member. The cylindrical portion has an interior space and communicated with the interior of the toner storage portion through a toner discharge port. An opening is formed at one of opposite ends of the interior space, and a closing wall is formed at the other of the opposite ends of the interior space. The shutter member is supported so as to be slidable in an extension direction of the cylindrical portion, and is movable between a closing position and an opening position. The shutter member at the closing position closes the toner discharge port, and the shutter member at the opening position opens the toner discharge port. The biasing member configured to position the shutter member to the closing position by applying a biasing force to the shutter member.

Claim (Index 1):
A toner case comprising:\n a toner storage portion configured to store toner in an interior thereof and having a toner discharge port formed in a bottom surface thereof; a cylindrical portion of a cylindrical shape having an interior space extending in a horizontal direction and communicated with the interior of the toner storage portion through the toner discharge port, an opening being formed at one of opposite ends of the interior space, a closing wall being formed at the other of the opposite ends of the interior space; a shutter member provided in the interior space and supported so as to be slidable in an extension direction of the cylindrical portion, against inner wall surfaces of the cylindrical portion forming the interior space, the shutter member being movable between a closing position and an opening position, the shutter member at the closing position coming in close contact with a peripheral edge of the toner discharge port and closing the toner discharge port, the opening position being separated from the closing position toward the closing wall, the shutter member at the opening position opening the toner discharge port; and a biasing member provided in the interior space between the shutter member and the closing wall and configured to position the shutter member to the closing position by applying a biasing force to the shutter member.
