摘要:
A developer storage container (30) includes: a container body (31); a lid (32); a stirring member (34); and an input gear (36). The container body includes: a bottom portion (310); an opening (31P) extending in a longitudinal direction thereof; a first sidewall (31R) and a second sidewall (31L); and a storage space (30S) for storing developer therein. The second sidewall includes a bearing portion (312) disposed to face the storage space. The first sidewall includes: a shaft hole (313S) communicating between an outside of the container body and the storage space; and a support portion (313T) supporting a distal end of a coupling (342) of the stirring member from therebelow to prevent the stirring member from falling onto the bottom portion, in a state in which a distal pivot portion (341) of the stirring member is inserted into the bearing portion, and the coupling is disposed facing the shaft hole.

A developer container (30) includes a container body (31), a movable wall (34), and a backward movement preventing mechanism (55). The container body (31) includes an inner surface (31K) defining a cylindrical internal space (31H) extending in a longitudinal direction, and a developer discharge port (319). The movable wall (34) includes an outer surface (34K) disposed slidably in close contact with the inner surface (31K) of the container body (31), and a conveying surface (340S). The conveying surface (340S) defines a storage space (31 S) for developer. The movable wall (34) moves in the longitudinal direction from an initial position at one end side to the developer discharge port (319) while conveying the developer in the storage space (31 S) to the developer discharge port (319). The backward movement preventing mechanism (55) prevents the movable wall (34) at the developer discharge port (319) from moving back toward the initial position.
摘要:
A cover opening/closing device (7) includes an engage mechanism (20) and a lock mechanism (30). The engage mechanism is provided in an apparatus body (2). The lock mechanism is provided in a cover (6). The lock member includes a button (32), a lock member (33), and an interlocking mechanism (34). The button is provided to be able to move linearly. The lock member is provided to be able to move linearly between a lock position (L1) and an unlock position (L2). The interlocking mechanism interlocks a movement of the button with a movement of the lock member. The interlocking mechanism includes a return member (60), an oblique groove (61), and a projection part (62). The return member returns the button to an initial position (P1). The projection part fits movably along the oblique groove. The oblique groove guides a relative movement of the projection part so as to interlock an operation of the button with a movement of the lock member.
摘要:
A developer container (30) includes a container body (31), a movable wall (34), and a stirring member (32). The container body (31) includes an inner surface (31 K) defining a cylindrical internal space (31H) extending in a longitudinal direction, and a developer discharge port (319). The developer discharge port (319) is formed in a lower part of the inner surface (31K). The movable wall (34) includes an outer surface (34K) disposed slidably in close contact with the inner surface (31K) of the container body (31), and a conveying surface (340S). The conveying surface (340S) defines a storage space (31 S) for developer. The movable wall (34) moves while conveying the developer in the storage space (31S) to the developer discharge port (319). The stirring member (32) stirs developer in the storage space (31S).
