摘要:
In an image forming apparatus in which toner is fed to a developer unit (6) from a toner storage container (32) through toner conveying means (40) provided between the toner storage container (32) and the developer unit (6), the image forming apparatus comprises a toner remaining amount detector (101) for detecting an amount which is not higher than a predetermined amount of toner in the toner storage container (32), a toner density detector (102) for detecting the density of toner in the developer unit (6), and means (110) for interrupting the image forming operation to feed the toner to the developer unit (6) from the toner storage container (32) through the toner conveying means (40) when the amount of the toner in the toner storage container (32) is larger than the predetermined amount and the density detected by the toner density detector (102) is lower than a predetermined density. Consequently, suitable measures can be taken when there occurs such a state that no toner is present in the toner conveying means (40) between the toner storage container (32) and the developing mechanism even if there is toner in the toner storage container (32).

In an image forming apparatus, a toner container is provided for stocking a toner. In a body of the image forming apparatus, an opening is provided for supplying the toner to the toner container, and an opening cover for closing the opening when the toner is not supplied to the toner container. In the toner container, a rotator is provided so as to discharge the toner from the toner container into a developing device via a toner feed device. Moreover, the image forming apparatus includes an opening cover detector and a control section. The opening cover detector detects whether the opening cover is opened, and the control section prevents the rotator from driving when the opening cover detector detects that the opening cover is opened.

Copy paper feeding device for a copying apparatus which comprises a plurality of cassettes 12, 13 capable of stroing copy paper sheets and feeding means corresponding to each of cassettes 12, 13 respectively. Each feeding means is driven selectively to feed the copy paper sheets in the case where the cassettes 12, 13 store the copy paper sheets having different sizes, and each feeding means is driven in a predetermined order to feed the copy paper sheets from one cassette 12 or 13 until the cassette 12 or 13 is vacant, then feed the copy paper sheets from the remaining cassette 13 or 12 successively in the case where the cassettes 12, 13 store the copy paper sheets having a same size. The copy paper feeding device includes the means which is situated corresponding to feeding means respectively for selecting a given feeding means to be driven.

Copying apparatus capable of performing a first preset number of copying operations corresponding to a first original document in a successive copying operation mode, and performing a second preset number of copying operations corresponding to a second original document in an intruded copying operation mode. The copying apparatus comprises preset number display elements 50 for indicating first and second preset numbers, first counting means R1 for counting a number of copying operations, a copy number display element 51 for indicating a value counted by the first counting means R1, second counting means R2 for counting a discharged copy paper after completion of copying operation, and means 33 for detecting jam of copy paper. The counted value of the first counting means R1 is revised to the counted value of the second counting means R2 when jam of copy paper occurs.

A photoconductive drum device for electrostatic copying machines or the like which comprises a temperature maintaining heater (1) bent to a cylindrical form and accommodated in the main body of a photoconductive drum. The heater comprises a base plate (5) and a heat generator (6) attached to the base plate (5). The base plate (5) has a parallelogrammatic form substantially corresponding to a shape which is obtained by cutting a hollow cylinder. having a diameter approximate to the inside diameter of the drum main body, along a helical cut line and unbending the cylinder. A temperature censor (21) is disposed in the interior of the drum, his position with respect to the longitudinal direction of the drum is approximately in the middle between a highest temperature portion of the drum and a portion thereof having a low temperature due to the removal of heat by copy paper during the operation of the drum.

An electrostatic copying apparatus wherein a stationary original document image is projected onto a photosensitive member (2) during movement of an optical device (238) for exposing, and an electrostic latent image formed on the photosensitive member is transferred onto a copy sheet and is fixed, comprising (a) a jam detecting means for immediately detecting a copy sheet being jammed on a transport path; and (b) a cleaning device (13, 330, 332) for removing residual toner particles remaining on the photosensitive member by means of magnetic force and for storing the removed toner particles after transferring operation. According to this invention, an occurrrence of jam is detected immediately, and thus a falt or an accident of the electrostatic copying apparatus due to jam is prevented from expanding.
