Abstract
A developer container includes a container member, a connector member attached to the container member, and a discharge path forming member connected to the container member and to discharge a developer from the container member. The connector member includes an inserted portion, and an engaged portion. The discharge path forming member includes an insertion portion inserted into the inserted portion, and an engaging portion provided correspondingly to the engaged portion. The engaged portion and engaging portion come to a state of mutual engagement by a relative rotation between the connector member and the discharge path forming member about a predetermined rotation axis, in a state where the insertion portion is inserted into the inserted portion. In the engaged state, the engaged portion and engaging portion restrict a relative movement of the connector member and the discharge path forming member in the direction of the rotation axis.
