Abstract
A drive transmission unit provided in an image forming device includes a first drive transmission portion and a second drive transmission portion. The first drive transmission portion transmits a rotation drive force of a motor rotating in a first rotation direction to a toner container, to transport a toner housed in the toner container in a predetermined direction, and regulates transmission of a rotation drive force of the motor rotating in a second rotation direction to the toner container. The second drive transmission portion transmits the rotation drive force of the motor rotating in the second rotation direction to the container cover, to cause the container cover to switch from a closed state to an open state, and regulates transmission of the rotation drive force of the motor rotating in the first rotation direction to the container cover.
