Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a toner container that has a storage area for toner and a communication member with a receiving port, a discharge port, and a passage. The passage includes two inclined surfaces that connect the first inclined surface to the discharge port. The first inclined surface is angled in a way that the downstream portion in one direction is closer to the discharge port in another direction. The same applies to the second inclined surface.


Original Abstract Submitted

A toner container includes a storage portion configured to store toner and a communicating member including a receiving port, a discharge port, and a passage. The passage includes a first inclined surface and a second inclined surface connecting the first inclined surface and the discharge port to each other. When viewed in a third direction perpendicularly intersecting with both of a first direction and a second direction, the first inclined surface is inclined with respect to the second direction such that a more downstream portion of the first inclined surface in the first direction is closer to the discharge port in the second direction, and the second inclined surface is inclined with respect to the second direction such that a more downstream portion of the second inclined surface in the first direction is closer to the discharge port in the second direction.
