Abstract:
A developing unit to deliver developer in various directions or a predetermined direction, and an image forming apparatus having the same. The developing unit includes a developer housing and a delivery unit to provide the developer with a delivery force via rotation thereof. The developer housing includes a protrusion to interfere with the delivery unit during rotation of the delivery unit, so as to change a developer delivery direction. The delivery unit includes an elastic delivery member and in turn, the delivery member includes a plurality of delivery elements to interfere with the protrusion. The developer delivery direction may be changed variously by changing positions of the delivery element and the protrusion.
