Abstract
A dry toner replenishing apparatus is provided for periodically replenishing dry toner into a storage receptacle of a copying machine. The apparatus includes a toner material supply container adopted to be removably received within an opening in the copier for dispensing developing material into the storage receptacle. The supply container has a dispensing opening and a closure device normally closing the opening. A cooperating connecting structure on the copying machine limits pivotal movement of the supply container between an insertion and a dispensing position, and a device on the copying machine engages the closure device on the supply container to open the closure device during movement of the supply container from the insertion position to the dispensing position.
