摘要:
A developer supply container is mountable to a developer receiving apparatus including a driving gear, and includes a developer discharging opening; a feeding blade for feeding the developer toward the opening when the container is positioned at a developer discharging position; a drive receiving gear engageable with the driving gear for rotating the feeding blade; a regulating projection for regulating a mounting attitude of the container to prevent engagement between the drive receiving and driving gears. Upon mounting the container, the drive receiving gear is revolvable, with manual rotation of the container, about a rotation center of the container to a set position where the drive receiving gear engages with the driving gear; and a load applier for applying a load to the drive receiving gear to rotate the container from the set position to the discharging position by the rotational force received by the drive receiving gear.

A developer supply container detachably mountable to a developer receiving apparatus and settable in a developer receiving apparatus by a setting operation including at least a rotation toward a setting position, includes a containing portion for containing the developer; a rotatable discharging member for discharging the developer out of said containing portion; drive transmitting means, engageable with a driving gear provided in said developer receiving apparatus and rotatable in a direction opposite the setting direction, for transmitting a rotating force from said driving gear to said discharging member.
摘要:
If a user is not familiar with the operation for the developer supply container, the rotating operation for the developer supply container may be insufficient, so that developer supply container does not reach a predetermined operating position, with the result of abnormal developer supply. by increasing a rotation load of a second gear 6 which is in an operable connection with a drive gear member 12 of the developer receiving apparatus 10 by a function of a locking member 7, the developer supply container 1 mounted to the developer receiving apparatus 10 is rotated toward the supply position. After the developer supply container 1 rotates to the supply position, the locking by the locking member 7 is released, by which the rotation load applied to the second gear 6 is reduced, so that drive transmission, thereafter, to the feeding member 4 for developer supply is smooth.

In a structure in which a gear train 5, 6 of a developer supply container 1 is locked by a locking member 7, and by the gear train 5, 6 receiving a drive from a gear 12 of the developer receiving apparatus, the setting rotation of the developer supply container 1 is automatically carried out, the setting rotation of the developer supply container 1 is not possible if a releasing projection 5a is at a position interfering a locking member 7. In view of this, the gear 5 is rotated to effect the locking member 7 to lock by abutment of an engaging portion 5d of the gear 5 to an engaging portion 13a of the developer receiving apparatus 10 with inserting operation of developer supply container 1. Therefore, upon completion of the insertion of the developer supply container 1, the gear train 5, 6 is locked by the locking member 7, and therefore, the setting rotation of the developer supply container 1 can be carried out properly.

A sealed ink jet assembly which is removable from an ink jet apparatus includes an ink jet head which has an ejection outlet found at a first surface of the ink jet head, an energy generating element for generating energy to eject ink through the ejection outlet, and an electric contact portion for supplying an electric signal from the ink jet apparatus to the energy generating element by mounting the electric contact portion to the ink jet apparatus. The electric contact portion is provided on the surface of the ink jet head which differs from the first surface, and an integral sealing member covers both the ink ejection outlet and the electric contact portion. The integral sealing member is removed when the assembly is mounted onto the ink jet apparatus.
