Abstract: A liquid feeding unit has a first chamber, a second chamber, a wall portion, an opening-closing member, and a filter member. The first chamber has a first feed passage connected to it to receive liquid through the first feed passage. The second chamber receives the liquid from the first chamber, and has a second feed passage for feeding the liquid connected to it. The wall portion has a communication hole through which the first and second chambers communicate with each other. The opening-closing member is arranged in the communication hole to open and close it. The filter member is arranged in the first feed passage or in the first chamber to remove foreign matter in the liquid.

Abstract: Provided is a joint mechanism where a rotational drive force of a drive shaft is transmitted to a driven shaft. The joint mechanism includes a first engaging portion, a second engaging portion which is engageable with the first engaging portion, a coupling, a first distal end portion, and a second distal end portion. The coupling has the second engaging portion, and is swingable in a direction intersecting with the axial direction in a state where the second engaging portion is engaged with the first engaging portion. The first distal end portion is a distal end portion of the driven shaft, and the first engaging portion or the coupling is mounted on the first distal end portion. The second distal end portion is a distal end portion of the drive shaft, and the coupling or the first engaging portion is mounted on the second distal end portion.

Abstract: A liquid supply unit includes a pressure chamber configured to store the liquid, a first supply passage allowing communication between a liquid storage container and the pressure chamber, a second supply passage allowing communication between a liquid injection head and the pressure chamber, and a valve mechanism configured to operate according to a pressure state of the pressure chamber. The valve mechanism prohibits the inflow of the liquid from the first supply passage in a first state where the pressure chamber is within the range of a supply negative pressure, allows the inflow of the liquid from the first supply passage in a second state where the pressure chamber is at a pressure lower than the supply negative pressure, and releases the pressure in the pressure chamber in a third state where the pressure chamber is at a pressure higher than the supply negative pressure by a predetermined value.

Abstract: A liquid supply unit includes a first chamber, a second chamber, an opening/closing member, a biasing member, a pressing member and a flexible film member. The first chamber communicates with a liquid storage container, and the second chamber communicates with a liquid injection head. The opening/closing member changes a posture between a closing posture for closing a communication opening and an opening posture for opening it. The biasing member biases the opening/closing member in a direction toward the closing posture. The pressing member presses the opening/closing member in a direction toward the opening posture. The flexible film member is displaced based on a negative pressure generated in the second chamber. When a pressure receiving portion of the pressing member receives the displacement force from the flexible film member, the pressing member rotates about a pivot point and presses the opening/closing member against a biasing force of the biasing member.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a developer container having a movable wall therein, a determination unit, a movable wall driving unit, and a movable wall driving controller. The determination unit outputs first determination information when a number of outputs of a signal indicating that a detection sensor has detected a developer is less than a threshold value, and outputs second determination information when the number of outputs thereof is equal to or greater than the threshold value. The movable wall driving unit includes a first driving motor for moving the movable wall and a first driving circuit for controlling driving thereof. The movable wall driving controller includes a signal controller. The signal controller transmits a drive permission signal for the first driving motor when the first determination information is output, and transmits a drive non-permission signal for the first driving motor when the second determination information is output.

Abstract: A developer storage container includes a container body having a developer discharge port, a shaft body extending in a first direction and rotatably disposed in the container body, and a stirring member to be attached to the shaft body. The stirring member is made of a flexible film-like member and stirs the developer stored in the container body by rotating according to the rotation of the shaft body. The stirring member includes an attaching portion serving as an area part for attachment to the shaft body, and a stirring piece having a base portion extending from the attaching portion toward the inner peripheral surface of the container body in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction and an extending portion extending from the base portion in a third direction intersecting with the second direction to approach the developer discharge port.

Abstract: A printer 100 includes a housing, an image forming unit 120H, a body unit 150, positioning mechanisms and a lock lever 50. The positioning mechanism includes a unit biasing spring and a biasing projection, and positions the image forming unit 120H by biasing the image forming unit 120H mounted at a first position in the housing. The lock lever 50 is pivotably provided on the image forming unit 120H. The lock lever 50 can change the posture thereof between a first posture for locking the image forming unit 120H at the first position and a second posture for unlocking the image forming unit 120H and allowing the image forming unit 120H to be removed from the housing.
