Powder container and image forming apparatus

A powder container comprising:

• a container body to store powder to be supplied to a powder conveying device;
• a nozzle receiver including a nozzle insertion opening through which a powder conveying nozzle of the powder conveying device is inserted into the container body;
• and
• an elastic cover including a plurality of sheet-shaped elastic bodies, each of the plurality of sheet-shaped elastic bodies extending along a substantially same plane which is perpendicular to an insertion direction of the powder conveying nozzle,
• wherein:
• the elastic cover blocks the nozzle insertion opening in a state where the powder conveying nozzle is not inserted, and is elastically deformed when the powder conveying nozzle passes through a blocked portion of the nozzle insertion opening, and
• at least a part of the plurality of elastic bodies is disposed so as to overlap relative to the insertion direction of the powder conveying nozzle,
• wherein each of the sheet-shaped elastic bodies has a held portion that is held on the nozzle receiver and an end portion that is not held such that an entire area of the end portion is covered by the elastic cover when there is no powder conveying nozzle passing through the elastic cover.
