摘要： A conveyer device includes a container containing a toner therein and having a bottom wall and two side walls, a toner discharge port formed in the bottom wall, and a conveyance mechanism for conveying the toner in the container toward the discharge port. The conveyance mechanism includes a rotary shaft that is supported across both side walls to rotate and is positioned to pass above the discharge port, and a pair of spiral vanes formed on the rotary shaft. The vanes have their spiral directions opposite to each other. The discharge port has a first side edge and a second side edge opposed to each other at a distance in the axial direction of the rotary shaft. One of the spiral vanes extends from the first side edge toward the second side edge of the discharge port, above the toner discharge port. The other spiral vane extends from the second side edge toward the first side edge of the discharge port.

摘要： A toner cartridge according to the present invention ensures easy replacement thereof and assuredly prevents a user from failing to claim its toner fall aperture. When a shutter is located in a position where the toner fall aperture is closed, a claw of a lock portion does not project outward. When the toner cartridge is inserted in an insertion direction, a right holding portion of the shutter abuts against an engagement side wall of an engagement portion, and prohibits the shutter from moving in the direction of the insertion so that the toner fall aperture is opened. When the toner cartridge is withdrawn, the lock portion of the claw is locked to a return portion provided on a side wall thereby to prohibit the shutter from moving in a direction opposite to the insertion direction. Thus, the shutter is slid in the insertion direction with respect to a flange to close the toner fall aperture.

摘要翻译： 根据本发明的调色剂盒确保容易的更换，并且确保防止使用者不能要求其调色剂落下孔。 当快门位于调色剂落下孔关闭的位置时，锁定部分的爪不向外突出。 当调色剂盒沿插入方向插入时，快门的右保持部分抵靠接合部分的接合侧壁，并且禁止快门沿插入方向移动，使得调色剂下落孔打开。 当调色剂盒被拉出时，爪的锁定部分被锁定到设置在侧壁上的返回部分，从而禁止快门沿与插入方向相反的方向移动。 因此，挡板相对于凸缘沿插入方向滑动以闭合调色剂落下孔。

摘要： A discharge system for discharging copy sheets out of a copying machine body comprises a transport unit and a discharge unit. The transport unit transports copy sheets in a transverse direction of the machine. The interiorly-incorporated discharge unit acquires a sheet transported from the transport unit and actively transports the acquired sheet along a fore-and-aft direction of the apparatus toward the user-directed side of the copying machine in order to discharge it exteriorly. The overall occupied space of the copy machine is thus reduced; additionally, accuracy of copy sheet discharge is ensured.

摘要： 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.

摘要： A toner replenishing device including a container having an acceptance opening for a toner, and a toner cartridge removably mounted on the container so as to traverse the acceptance opening along an upper surface portion extending at the upper end of the acceptance opening, and using a shutter member when the toner cartridge is removed from the container. An engaged hole is formed in one side part of the container. In one side part of the shutter member opposed to the one side part of the container, a hook portion is formed for being engaged with the engaged hole to allow the turn of the shutter member in the direction of insertion between the lower surface of the toner cartridge and the upper surface portion of the container, as well as in the reverse direction, and to regulate the position of the shutter member in the width direction relative to the container.
