Abstract
A developer container includes: a developer accommodating chamber provided with an opening; a first shutter, including a first portion-to-be-urged, movable between a closing position and an opening position; a second shutter, including a second portion-to-be-urged and being provided outside the first shutter with respect to the opening, movable between a closing position and an opening position; and a partitioning portion provided so as to block between the first and second portions-to-be-urged along moving ranges of the first and second portions-to-be-urged. Movement distances, when the first and second shutters are moved simultaneously from the closing positions, of the first and second shutters from the closing positions to the opening positions are different from each other so that after one of said first and second shutters reaches the opening position, the other shutter is moved to the opening position.
