Abstract:
A developing device includes a developer accommodating casing, a developer carrying member, a regulating portion, a magnetic flux generating portion, and a cover portion. A first opposing region between the casing and the developer carrying member is downstream of the developing region and upstream of a second opposing region between the cover portion and the developer carrying member with respect to a rotational direction. The following relationships are satisfied: L 1≤ L 2+ L 3,  and L 2≤ L 3,  where L 1  is a minimum distance between the developer carrying member and the accommodating casing in the first opposing region, L 2  is a minimum distance between the developer carrying member and the cover portion in the second opposing region, and L 3  is a minimum distance between the cover portion and the accommodating portion opposing the cover portion.

Claim (Index 6):
A developing device according to  claim 1 , wherein a lower end of said cover portion with respect to the rotational direction is in a side downstream, with respect to the rotational direction, of an upstream end of a half-width region of a magnetic flux density of said first magnetic pole with respect to the rotational direction.
