Abstract

A developing device for developing an electrostatic latent image formed on an electrophotographic photosensitive member, includes a developing member for developing an electrostatic latent image formed on the photosensitive member with a developer, a detecting member for detecting the amount of developer, a stirring member for stirring the developer by rotation thereof, and a rubbing member for rubbing a surface of the detecting member. The rubbing member is a member separate from the stirring member and is rotatable integrally with the stirring member.
