摘要： A developer container storing a developer of the present invention includes a developer outlet formed in the side wall thereof, and a shutter member for selectively opening or closing the developer outlet. The shutter member opens the developer outlet when the developer container is mounted to the body of an image forming apparatus or closes it when the former is dismounted from the latter. The toner container with this configuration surely prevents the developer from leaking when the developer container is dismounted from an image forming apparatus.

摘要： A powder pump includes a stator and a rotor. The stator has a through-hole formed with two grooves extended in a stator spiral form. The rotor is rotated inside the through-hole of the stator. The rotor extends in a rotor spiral form such that spaces for accommodating a powder are formed between an outer circumferential surface of the rotor and an inner circumferential surface of the through-hole of the stator. The rotor is rotated to move the spaces and to transfer the powder. A cross-sectional engagement amount formed in the stator. An outer diameter engagement amount is formed in the rotor. When the rotor has a cross-sectional diameter RA millimeters and an outer diameter RB millimeters, and the through-hole of the stator has a least inner diameter SN millimeters and a largest inner diameter SX millimeters, RA, RB, SN, and SX are defined to satisfy formulas of RA−SN≧0.4 and RB−(SN+SX)/2≧0.4.

摘要： A toner conveying device for an image forming apparatus includes a nozzle capable of penetrating into a toner container when the toner container is mounted to the image forming apparatus. The nozzle has a tubular structure forming an air passage for sending air into the toner container and a toner passage for delivering toner discharged from the toner container. Air sent into the toner container via the air passage fluidizes toner existing in the toner container, so that the toner can be surely replenished to a developing unit.

摘要： In an electrophotographic image forming apparatus including a toner recycling mechanism, a collected toner conveying device is free from troubles particular to a conventional device using a screw pump and an air pump and conveying toner and air mixture via an elastic tubing, i.e., the wear of a stator due to aging and a decrease in the delivery pressure of the pump ascribable to the wear. A control device controls, based on the cumulative operation time, an operation of the screw pump and an operation of the air pump. This provides the toner conveying device with durability, reliability and simple construction while insuring toner conveyance and reducing cost.
