Abstract
A developer storage container includes a container body, a shaft, a moving wall and a pressing member. The container body has an inner peripheral surface defining a tubular internal space extending along a first direction. The shaft is arranged to extend in the first direction in the internal space and rotatably supported. The moving wall is movable in the first direction in the internal space while conveying the developer in the internal space toward a developer discharge port. The pressing member moves integrally with the moving wall by pressing the moving wall when the shaft is rotated in a first rotating direction and relatively moves to an upstream side with respect to the moving wall according to the engagement of a first engaging portion and a second engaging portion when the shaft is rotated in a second rotating direction opposite to the first rotating direction.
