Toner container, image forming unit, and image forming apparatus

An image forming unit, comprising:

• a containing section that contains toners of colors different from each other;
• and
• a developing process section that attaches the toners of colors different from each other and fed from the containing section onto a latent image,
• the containing section including:
• a plurality of containing chambers that are arrayed in a first direction and partitioned from each other, the containing chambers containing the respective toners of colors different from each other;
• a shaft member that extends in the first direction and passes through each of the containing chambers, the shaft member being rotatable about a rotational axis extending in the first direction;
• a plurality of rotary members disposed in the respective containing chambers, the rotary members each having a through-hole extending in the first direction, the rotary members being rotatable in response to rotation of the shaft member in an inserted state of the shaft member in the through-holes;
• and
• a plurality of stirring members supported by the respective rotary members, the stirring members each extending in a second direction intersecting the first direction, the stirring members being pivotable in response to rotation of the respective rotary members, the stirring members having pivoting positions different from each other upon pivoting.

An image forming apparatus, comprising:

• a developing section including a containing section and a developing process section, the containing section containing toners of colors different from each other, the developing process section attaching the toners of colors different from each other and fed from the containing section onto a latent image;
• a transfer section that transfers, onto a print medium, the toners of colors different from each other and attached to the latent image;
• and
• a fixing section that fixes, to the print medium, the toners of colors different from each other and transferred onto the print medium, the containing section including:
• a plurality of containing chambers that are arrayed in a first direction and partitioned from each other, the containing chambers containing the respective toners of colors different from each other;
• a shaft member that extends in the first direction and passes through each of the containing chambers, the shaft member being rotatable about a rotational axis extending in the first direction;
• a plurality of rotary members disposed in the respective containing chambers, the rotary members each having a through-hole extending in the first direction, the rotary members being rotatable in response to rotation of the shaft member in an inserted state of the shaft member in the through-holes;
• and
• a plurality of stirring members supported by the respective rotary members, the stirring members each extending in a second direction intersecting the first direction, the stirring members being pivotable in response to rotation of the respective rotary members, the stirring members having pivoting positions different from each other upon pivoting.
