ABSTRACT:
In a developing apparatus and image forming apparatus, a container accommodates a two-component developer, a stirring and conveying screw stirring and conveying the two-component developer in the container and the development carrier conveying the two-component developer, stirred by the screw, to a latent image carrier which carries an electrostatic latent image. Balls, each having a diameter larger than a gap between an outer diameter portion of the screw and a bottom support surface of the container, are received along with the developer in the container and are stirred with the developer by the screw to facilitate conveyance and discharge of used developer from the container.
