Abstract

An improved electrostatic latent image developing apparatus which is capable of effecting sufficient mixing and stirring of developing material through smooth circulation and transportation of the developing material into two feeding passages disposed side by side without being stagnant at a downstream side end portion of each feeding passage, and also without being aggregated towards the downstream side of the feeding passage, so as to avoid uneven development in the axial direction of a developing sleeve.
