ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus includes a main body, a developing device, and a toner container. The toner container is attachable to and detachable from the main body, and a rotating shaft is installed in the interior thereof. A first joint is on one end of the toner container and is coupled to the rotating shaft. A second joint is provided to the main body opposite the first joint. A coupling guide mechanism couples the first and second joints to each other, and a driving source transmits a driving force to the first joint via the second joint. The coupling guide mechanism couples the first joint and the second joint to each other whether the toner container is loaded into the main body in an axial direction or in a radial direction of the rotating shaft.
