Abstract: The present application discloses a developing device including a housing having a connection surface to which the container connects. The connection surface is provided with a feed port for feeding the developer. The developing device includes a shutter mechanism configured to selectively open and close the feed port. The shutter mechanism includes a shutter piece, which moves between a closing position for closing the feed port and an opening position for opening the feed port, and a squeezing mechanism, which protrudes from the shutter piece situated in the closing position to squeeze the developer into the housing through the feed port.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a main body housing, an image carrier, a developing device, a developer container, and an interference mechanism. The image carrier is stored in the main body housing and has a circumferential surface on which an electrostatic latent image is formed. The developing device is stored detachably in the main body housing and supplies a developer to the electrostatic latent image to develop the electrostatic latent image. The developer container is stored detachably in the main body housing and supplies the developer to the developing device. The interference mechanism disables the developing device from being removed from the main body housing, in a state in which the developer container is mounted to the main body housing.

Abstract: A control device permits execution of a print process on condition that an object sensor detects an object at a detection position. A switch mechanism, in accordance with a release operation, releases an interlock between a first displacement member and a closing operation of a cover portion. In a state where a second displacement member is located at an actuation position, a detected portion is located at the detection position. When the second displacement member is located at a retreat position, a first contact portion is not in contact with the cover portion. When the cover portion is closed, the cover portion displaces the second displacement member from a standard position to an actuation position. When the first displacement member is displaced from a first relay position to a second relay position, the first displacement member displaces the second displacement member from the standard position to the retreat position.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a plurality of image carriers, an intermediate transfer belt, a cleaning blade, a counter-roller, and a supporting member. The intermediate transfer belt is endless and, to it, toner images formed on the outer circumferential faces of the plurality of image carriers are transferred by being sequentially superposed on each other. The cleaning blade is arranged with its tip end portion in contact with the outer circumferential face of the intermediate transfer belt and removes deposits left on the outer circumferential face of the intermediate transfer belt. The counter-roller is arranged at a position opposite the cleaning blade across the intermediate transfer belt and is in contact with the inner circumferential face of the intermediate transfer belt. The supporting member supports the cleaning blade. The supporting member supports the cleaning blade rotatably about the rotation axis of the counter-roller.

Abstract: In a toner receiving device, an opening/closing member closes and opens the toner receiving port. The opening/closing member moves from a closing position to an opening position when attaching the toner case. The support mechanism includes a guide rail and a plurality of guide pieces and supports the opening/closing member. The guide rail includes a first rail portion and a second rail portion that are inserted between the plurality of guide pieces when the opening/closing member is at the closing position and the opening position, respectively. The first rail portion is thinner than the second rail portion so that a play in an up-down direction between the opening/closing member and the support mechanism is larger when the opening/closing member is at the closing position than when it is at the opening position.

Abstract: A toner conveying device includes a first communication opening, a toner supply opening, a toner conveyance passage, an opening/closing member, and a moving member. The first communication opening communicates with a toner discharge outlet formed in a toner case in a state where the toner case is attached to a predetermined attachment position, the toner case including an operation portion. The toner conveyance passage connects the first communication opening to the toner supply opening. The opening/closing member moves between a closing position and an opening position. When the opening/closing member is at the closing position, the toner supply opening is closed, and when the opening/closing member is at the opening position, the toner supply opening is opened. The moving member is dislocated in conjunction with an operation of the operation portion in such a way as to move the opening/closing member from the closing position to the opening position.
