摘要:
A manufacturing method of a cartridge (B), the cartridge being attachable to an apparatus main body (A) of an image forming apparatus, the cartridge including a first member (23) and a second member (26), the first member including a receiving surface (23c) and a retaining portion (23d), and the second member (26) including a contact surface (26c) in contact with the receiving surface. In the manufacturing method, the first member and the second member are held so that the contact surface covers the retaining portion and so that the contact surface and the receiving surface are in contact with each other and joined by ultrasonic spot welding so that a recess (26f) recessed towards the retaining portion is formed in the second member and so that at least part of a fused portion (24, 25) of the first member and the second member enters the retaining portion.

A feeding device for feeding a developer includes an accommodating member (71b), a first helical feeding member (87) including a first region having a first diameter and a second region having a second diameter smaller than the first diameter in a named order with respect to a first feeding direction (W), a second helical feeding member (88) for feeding the developer in a second feeding direction (X) crossing the first feeding direction, and a wall (72t) extending toward the second helical feeding member so that the wall is spaced from the first helical feeding member toward a downstream side of the first helical feeding member with respect to the first feeding direction to branch a flow path of the developer. With respect to the first feeding direction, the second region is provided between the first region and a position where the first and second helical feeding members cross each other.

A cartridge includes a photosensitive drum rotatable about an axis extending in an axial direction; a memory including a storing element configured to store information, a memory contact electrically connected to the storing element, and a substrate having a surface on which the memory contact is provided; and a frame which supports the photosensitive drum, on which the substrate is mounted, and which includes a first end with respect to the axial direction and a second end opposite from the first end. The frame includes a container provided with an accommodating chamber for accommodating a developer collected from the photosensitive drum and with an opening communicating with the accommodating chamber and includes a mounting member mounted on the container so as to cover the opening. The mounting member includes a supporting portion for supporting the substrate.

A feeding device includes a first feeding member (86) for feeding the developer in a feeding direction along a first rotational axis direction, the first feeding member being provided in a first feeding path (79a) and including a driving shaft and a drive transmitting portion, and a second feeding member (87) for feeding the developer along a second rotational axis direction crossing the first rotational axis direction, and second feeding member being provided in a second feeding path (79b) and including a driven shaft (87b1) and a drive receiving portion (87a). The drive transmitting portion and the drive receiving portion engage with each other to deliver the developer from the first feeding member to the second feeding member. A bearing portion (71l) for rotatably supporting the second feeding member is provided in an upstream side with respect to the feeding direction.

A mountable unit set usable with an electrophotographic-image-forming apparatus includes a cartridge and an attachment. A cartridge includes a photosensitive drum and a coupling member for receiving a driving force for rotating the photosensitive drum, from a driving shaft. An attachment includes a cylindrical portion for being mounted to a periphery of the driving shaft to suppress tilting of the driving shaft. Tilting of a driving-force transmitting member is suppressed.

An accommodating container (71b, 371b) for accommodating a developer includes a feeding member (88) for feeding the developer in the accommodating container; and a wall member (72c, 372c) provided in the accommodating container and extending along a direction crossing a developer feeding direction of the feeding member and inclined so that a distance from the feeding member increases toward a downstream side of the feeding member with respect to the developer feeding direction.
