Abstract
A toner conveying device includes a housing, a screw, a discharging part and a removing member. The housing houses toner. The screw is formed by fixing a vane of a spiral shape to a circumferential face of a rotation axis rotatably supported in the housing. The discharging part is formed to be able to discharge the toner conveyed by the screw, to an outside of the housing. The removing member is elongated from the rotation axis to an outside in a radial direction, rotates with the screw and removes the toner remaining at the discharging part. The removing member is formed in a comb shape formed by continuously forming a recess and a protrusion at a free end part of the removing member.
