Disclosed is an anti-chipping film capable of preventing chips which would otherwise occur during an operation for inserting an engagement protrusion of a resin member into a mounting hole of a metal sheet, from being generated and scattered into an inner space of a frame. The anti-chipping film is adapted to be attachable to a given metal sheet to cover a (rectangular-shaped or circular shaped) mounting hole which is formed in the metal sheet to mount a given resin member. The anti-chipping film comprises a slit (linear-shaped slit, radial-shaped slit or H-shaped slit) formed in a central region thereof to allow an engagement protrusion protrudingly formed on the resin member to penetrate therethrough, and an adhesive layer laminated on an outer peripheral region thereof.

This invention relates to an image forming apparatus in which a cleaning device is arranged above a photosensitive drum close thereto. The image forming apparatus has an image processing unit provided with the photosensitive drum. The photosensitive drum is constructed such that a gear portion formed in a flange member at one axial end of the photosensitive drum has a diameter not greater than an outer diameter of the photosensitive drum. The image processing unit is constructed such that a driving force from the image forming apparatus is transmitted to the photosensitive drum via the gear portion formed in the one flange member to rotate the photosensitive drum and is transmitted to at least one of image processor means via a gear portion formed in a flange member at the opposite axial end of the photosensitive drum. With this arrangement, a poor image formation due to a blocking phenomenon resulting from long stay of toner residues can be prevented and downsizing of the image forming apparatus is realized.

A toner cartridge for an image forming apparatus includes a toner storing unit having two flexible stirring rods disposed therein. Two tapered bearing portions disposed on a first side wall of the toner storage unit extend partially into the first side wall without piercing the first side wall, and two bearing portions on a second side wall extend completely through the second side wall. First ends of each of the stirring rods is tapered and fits into the tapered bearing portions on the first side wall of the toner storage unit. Second ends of the stirring rods extend through the bearing portions of the second side wall of the toner storage unit. Flange members are disposed on the second ends of the stirring rods, and a seal is interposed between each flange member and the second side wall. In another embodiment of the present invention, two of the bearing portions on the first side wall are generally square, and the first ends of the stirring rods have a generally spherical tip. The second ends of the stirring rods also include generally spherical portions which are in contact with the two bearing portions on the second side wall.

The present invention provides an image forming apparatus in which paper sheets are not forgotten in a paper discharging section so provided in the main body of the apparatus so as to open toward the front. An operation panel is arranged in an upper part on the front side of the main body of the image forming apparatus 16, and a side space 16 is provided on the right of the operation panel. An operator can visually confirm paper sheets discharged into a paper discharging section from above through the side space. The paper discharging section is in the main body of the image forming apparatus, whereby economy of space can be achieved.
