Abstract:
A developer container for a developer supply device and an image forming apparatus include: a container main body which contains developer therein and is provided with at least one developer outlet formed at one side thereof. A shutter unit is rotatably installed in the container main body to open the developer outlet intermittently when being rotated. A developer supply device and an image forming apparatus are provided with the developer container.
Abstract:
A toner cartridge horizontally installed in an electrophotographic printer having a photoreceptor drum where an electrostatic latent image is formed by charging and exposure, and contributing to toner supply and development by being fixedly coupled to in the electrophotographic printer. The toner cartridge includes a housing filled with toner of a predetermined color, a development roller rotatably installed on the housing to face the photoreceptor drum and to supply the toner to the photoreceptor drum to develop an image by a difference in electrical potential, a supply roller rotatably installed in the housing in contact with the development roller and to control the toner to adhere to the development roller, and a guide member coupled to the housing to be disposed under the supply roller and to guide supply of the toner. When a diameter of the development roller is D2, the diameter D2 satisfies an inequality that 10.4≦D2≦22.1 mm.
Abstract:
A toner cartridge used with an electrophotographic image forming apparatus includes a developing roller that develops an electrostatic latent image formed on an outer circumferential surface of a photosensitive drum, a toner supplying roller that supplies toner onto the developing roller, a main chamber that stores the toner, a guide member that is disposed under the toner supplying roller to receive the toner and to guide the toner toward the developing roller, a toner recovery chamber that is formed under the guide member to form a space where the toner remaining on the guide member, which is not supplied to the developing roller, can accumulate, a recovery roller that rotates in the toner recovery chamber to return the toner in the toner recovery chamber to the main chamber, and a toner blocking film that is installed on a lower portion of the guide member to prevent the toner from directly leaking to the toner recovery chamber.
Abstract:
A toner cartridge of an electrophotographic image forming apparatus. The toner cartridge of the electrophotographic image forming apparatus includes a developing roller that develops an electrostatic latent image formed on an outer circumferential surface of a photosensitive drum, a toner supplying roller that supplies toner onto the developing roller, a seal bracket that is installed above and apart from the toner supplying roller, an outer seal film including an end adhered to the seal bracket and the other end contacting an outer circumference of the developing roller, and an inner seal film that is adhered to an inner surface of the seal bracket so that an end of the inner seal film contacts an outer circumference of the supplying roller.

A toner cartridge used with an electrophotographic image forming apparatus includes a developing roller to develop an electrostatic latent image formed on an outer circumferential surface of a photosensitive drum, a toner to supply roller supplying toner onto the developing roller, a guide member installed under the toner supplying roller to guide the toner to attach onto the surface of the toner supplying roller by a predetermined thickness, a hopper to store the toner supplied to the toner supplying roller, and an agitator rotatably installed on the hopper. A rotary shaft of the agitator is disposed in a position higher than an upper portion of the guide member.
