Abstract
A developing device includes a container; a cylindrical first developer-transporting member rotatably supported by the container and whose rotation axis is substantially parallel with a rotation axis of a subjected-to-development member; a first magnet disposed inside the first developer-transporting member and secured to the container; a swinging member supported so as to be capable of swinging relative to the container around the rotation axis of the first developer-transporting member; a cylindrical second developer-transporting member at least one end portion of which is rotatably supported by the swinging member, the second developer-transporting member being adjacent to the first developer-transporting member and rotating in the circumferential direction to transport the developer to the subjected-to-development member; and a second magnet disposed inside the second developer-transporting member and secured to the swinging member.
