The spiral member is formed by connecting spiral pieces, each forming one spiral turn, in a conveying direction of the developer and includes a hollow interior defined by the connected spiral pieces. The shaft portions are arranged at opposite end parts of the spiral member and rotatably supported on the wall portions and serve as a rotary shaft for the rotation of the conveying member. The breaking member extends across the hollow interior in a direction intersecting with the conveying direction.
