Abstract
A powder container includes a container body that can be attached to and detached from a powder processing apparatus and that includes an outer wall having an opening; a lid that covers the opening and that is held by a lid holder such that the opening is not covered by the lid when the container body is attached to the powder processing apparatus; a retaining frame that projects from the periphery of the opening and retains the lid in a movable manner; and a suppressing body that projects from the lid by an amount set such that the suppressing body does not come into contact with the outer wall when the lid is moved and such that, if the lid is inclined while being held, the suppressing body comes into contact with the outer wall to suppress the inclination of the lid before the lid is released.
