ABSTRACT:
An insertion passage104Y for inserting a suction nozzle73Y fixed to an image forming apparatus is provided on a holder102Y, and a connecting passage114Y that connects the insertion passage104Y and a toner storage section106Y of the holder102Y is provided. After the toner sent from bottle101Y to the holder102Y falls towards the connecting passage104Y, the toner flows into the suction nozzle73Y through the connecting passage114Y and is then discharged out of the holder102Y. An airtightness between the insertion passage114Y and the suction nozzle73Y inserted into the insertion passage114Y is superior than an airtightness between the bottle101Y and the holder102Y engaged with the bottle101Y.
