摘要:
A developer cartridge for supplying developer to a developer receiving unit has a lid by which a developer discharge opening is opened/closed. If the cartridge is unloaded from the developer receiving unit when the lid is not at a predetermined position where the developer discharge opening is completely closed, the lid is engaged by an engagement portion of the developer receiving unit and is moved to the predetermined position.
摘要:
A powder developer container in which an opening through which a powder developer can be discharged is formed by a relative movement between a pair of shutter members in which a sealing member is interposed thereinbetween. The sealing member is fixed to one of the pair of shutter members and slidable relative to the other one of the pair of shutter members. The sealing member has a hardness of 20 to 70, a compressive set lower than 4%. A coefficient of friction .mu. between itself and the mating member on which the sealing member is slidable is not greater than 0.8. The sealing member is compressed between the pair of shutter members at a compression rate higher than 20%.
摘要:
A powder filling apparatus and a powder filling method which enable powder to be densely filled in a short period of time is to be provided. This is a powder filling apparatus having a pressure hopper wherein the pressure hopper has a discharger for discharging powder and a gas inlet positioned above at least the surface of a powder layer formed by the powder in the pressure hopper; the powder layer is so formed as to blockade the discharger in the pressure hopper; in the powder filling apparatus, the inside of the pressure hopper is pressurized by leading in gas through the gas inlet in a state in which the discharger is closed, and the powder layer so formed as to blockade the discharger is discharged by opening the discharger after the pressurization thereby to utilize that pressure to load the powder into the filling container.
