摘要:
A developer cartridge (34) includes a casing (36), an agitator (41), and a developing roller (37). The casing has a first inner space serving as a developer accommodating chamber (40) that accommodates developer and a second inner space serving as a developing chamber (42) in communication with the developer accommodating chamber. The agitator (41) is disposed in the developer accommodating chamber and has a shaft portion (87) that is rotatably supported in the casing. The agitator is rotatable about the shaft portion. The developing roller is disposed in the developing chamber and is rotatably supported in the casing. The casing is formed with a developer opening (73) located at a position closer to the developing chamber than the shaft portion (87) of the agitator (41).

Aspects described herein relate to a cap for a toner cartridge. In one example, the cap may be configured to close a toner supply opening of the toner cartridge. According to one or more aspects, the cap may include a sealing or covering portion configured to cover the toner supply opening and a shaft portion for rotatably supporting a to-be-detected rotary member. The to-be-detected rotary member 56 is rotatably supported around and fitted onto the shaft portion. Therefore, even if a toner supply opening of a cartridge is provided in a sidewall of the housing on a side where the to-be-detected rotary member is provided, e.g., a left sidewall, the toner supply opening and the to-be-detected rotary member can be provided in such a manner as to overlap each other.

Aspects described herein relate to a cap for a toner cartridge. In one example, the cap may be configured to close a toner supply opening (83) of the toner cartridge. According to one or more aspects, the cap may include a sealing or covering portion (85) configured to cover the toner supply opening (83) and a shaft portion (83) for rotatably supporting a to-be-detected rotary member (56). The to-be-detected rotary member (56) is rotatably supported around and fitted onto the shaft portion (83). Therefore, even if a toner supply opening of a cartridge is provided in a sidewall of the housing (13) on a side where the to-be-detected rotary member is provided, e.g., a left sidewall, the toner supply opening and the to-be-detected rotary member can be provided in such a manner as to overlap each other.
