ABSTRACT:
A developing device includes a developing sleeve for carrying a magnetic developer, a regulating sleeve for regulating the thickness of the layer of the developer on the developing sleeve, magnets for generating a magnetic field in a layer-thickness regulating portion by the regulating sleeve, and magnetic members provided so as to have a small gap between the circumferences of the developing sleeve and the regulating sleeve. Leakage of the developer from end portions is prevented by forming a magnetic seal by way of a magnetic field between each of the magnetic members, and between the regulating sleeve and the developing sleeve.
