Abstract
A toner transporting device for an electrophotographic copying apparatus includes a transporter for carrying toner to and into a chamber through a first opening therein, a second opening in the chamber through which toner in the chamber is moved out of the same in a different direction, and an elastic plate mounted at one of its ends for rotation within the chamber such that its opposite tip end is maintained in contact with the interior wall of the chamber except at the second chamber opening so as to move toner from the first to and through the second chamber opening.
