摘要:
A powder housing unit includes a plate-shaped agitating unit that is horizontally arranged inside of a casing to accommodate a powder, a rotating shaft that causes the agitating unit to slide back and forth, and a powder conveying unit that conveys the powder in a horizontal direction during the sliding. The rotating shaft is supported by a shaft supporting unit in a rotatable manner such that a space is formed between the rotating shaft and the shaft supporting unit.

An image forming apparatus includes a carrier unit including an intermediate transfer member, a detachable waste toner container, and a recording-medium directing member provided to the carrier unit. The recording-medium directing member guides a recording medium, and also prevents the waste toner container from contacting the intermediate transfer member when the waste toner container is attached to or detached from the image forming apparatus.
摘要:
A shutter is rotatably supported by a first powder guiding member. When the first powder guiding member and a second powder guiding member occupy powder guiding positions, the shutter takes an open position. At this moment, a rear end of an upper surface of an open/close plate of the shutter is positioned on an inner side of an upper opening of the second powder guiding member.
摘要:
A dust container includes a container body, an inlet, a dust detector, and a dust-conveying unit. The dust-conveying unit conveys the dust from the inlet to the interior of the container body. The dust-conveying unit includes a plurality of conveying members that are arranged at different positions in the dust conveying unit. A direction in which the dust is conveyed and an amount of the dust conveyed by at least one of the conveying members is different from those of the other conveying members. As the dust accumulates in the container body, the dust detector detects whether the container body is substantially full with the dust.

According to the present invention, there is provided an improvement which comprises adding an acid compound and if necessary an epoxy compound to a reaction product resulting from melt polycondensation reaction of an aromatic dihydroxy compound with a carbonic acid diester in the presence of an alkaline compound catalyst.
摘要:
Polycarbonates are prepared by inducing the melt polycondensation of an aromatic dihydroxy compound and a diester carbonate in the presence of alkali metal compounds and/or alkaline earth metal compound droxy and adding to the polycarbonate which is the reaction product thereof: a sulfonic acid compound having the formula ##STR1## in an amount of 0.05-10 ppm, based on the polycarbonate, an epoxy compound in an amount of 1-2000 ppm, based on the polycarbonate and a phosphorus compound in an amount of 10-1000 ppm, based on the polycarbonate.
摘要:
A copolymeric polycarbonate containing repeating constituent units having formula [I] below and repeating constituent units having formula [II] below in a molar ratio of from 98:2 to 40:60. ##STR1## The above-described copolymeric polycarbonates have excellent resistance to chemicals, heat resistance and flame retardancy without compromising the impact resistance and good hues intrinsic to polycarbonates.
摘要:
The method of this invention prepares copolymeric polycarbonates which have excellent mechanical properties, heat resistance and transparency, and which also have improved chemical resistance, hue, and residence stability by inducing the melt polycondensation of an aromatic dihydroxy compound containing an amount of 2-90 mol % of hydroquinone and/or substituted hydroquinones with a diester carbonate in the presence of a catalyst containing alkali metal compounds and/or alkaline earth metal compounds in an amount of 1.times.10.sup.-8 to 5.times.10.sup.-6 mole per mole of the total amount of the aromatic dihydroxy compound.
