摘要

A developer container of a developing device that is provided in an image forming apparatus, includes: a developer container main body provided with a developer containing portion that contains a developer and a developer supply opening; a sealing member that seals the developer supply opening of the developer container main body; and a grip member for pulling out the sealing member in a longitudinal direction of the developer container main body. The developer container main body and the grip member are integrally molded from resin materials having low compatibility to be separable from each other, and the grip member has a longitudinal dimension extending to an outside of a developer container mounting region of the image forming apparatus.
