ABSTRACT:
A developing apparatus for developing an electrostatic latent image on an electrostatic latent image carrier includes a toner tank for storing toner, a developing roller, and an agitator for supplying the toner from the toner tank to the developing roller. The apparatus further includes a regulation member having one end portion fixedly supported and other end portion being slidingly held in contact with the outer surface to define a contacting area. The regulating member is bent at an angle .alpha. outwardly from the outer surface to define a bent portion such that the bent portion is located closely adjacent to the developing roller with respect to the contacting area. The curvature radius of the bent portion is no greater than 0.5 mm and the length of the bent portion's free end is between 0.5-5.0 mm.
