Abstract
A developer accommodating unit includes a container and a stirring member. The container includes first and second frames mutually bonded to constitute an accommodating space for a developer. The stirring member stirs the developer by being rotated in a rotational direction and includes a sheet fixed to a rotational shaft. The first frame includes a recessed portion provided along an edge of the first frame and opening toward an upstream side in the rotational direction. The second frame includes a projection provided along an edge of the second frame, projects toward a downstream side in the rotational direction and engages with the recess, and so as to prevent the sheet from contacting an end surface, on the upstream side, of an inner end of the recess and includes a part of an inner wall constituting the accommodating space, a visor provided on a position opposite to the end surface.
