Abstract
A developer supplying apparatus of the present invention includes a toner bottle and a bottle supporting member that is in the shape of substantially a cylinder. A slip ring is attached to an inner peripheral surface of the bottle supporting member so as to be slidable on one end portion, supported by the bottle supporting member, of the toner bottle. A V ring is attached to the end portion, supported by the bottle supporting member, of the toner bottle, and the slip ring contacts a seal strip of the V ring. Thus, it is possible to surely seal the developer supplying apparatus which can stably supply toner to a development device at high speed.
