A paper delivery device in a printer selectively changes a stacking direction of printed and ejected paper and stacks paper. The device includes a first tray, and a second tray to pivot to a first position where paper is guided to the first tray and to a second position where the paper is stacked so that a side of an image of the paper is opposite to a side of an image of the first tray. The device also includes a first guide and a second guide to provide a side and the other side, respectively, of an ejecting route so that the paper is ejected to the first tray. The device includes a first roller and a second roller, each of the first and second rollers being installed in the first guide and second guide of the ejecting route. The device includes an ascending unit installed in the second tray to ascend the second roller so that the second roller is engaged with the first roller in the first position, and the second roller is placed under the second guide in the second position.

A coupling apparatus, a development cartridge, and an electrophotographic printer having the coupling apparatus. The coupling apparatus transfers a rotation force in a connected state. The coupling apparatus has a first coupler having a cylindrical-type connection portion at an end and a spiral rib spirally protruded at an outer circumference of the connection portion; and a second coupler having a circular-type main hole depressed at an end corresponding to the connection portion, and a spiral groove formed at an inner circumference of the main hole corresponding to the spiral rib. The connection portion and the spiral rib are relatively connected with the main hole and the spiral groove by being pressed, and transmit a rotation force by being rotated together.

A photoconductive drum driving gear usable with an image forming apparatus includes a driving shaft, a driving gear to rotate with the driving shaft in connection with the driving shaft and meshed with a photoconductive drum gear of a process cartridge of the image forming apparatus, and a connection unit to connect the driving gear and the driving shaft so that the driving gear rotates with respect to the driving shaft by a predetermined angle when mounting the process cartridge to a main body of the image forming apparatus. The connection unit includes a plurality of connection projections formed at one of the driving shaft and the driving gear, a plurality of connection recesses formed at the other one of the driving shaft and the driving gear to correspond with the connection projections and having a greater width than the connection projections, and an elastic member interposed between the connection projections and the connection recesses to elastically bias the driving gear in a certain direction with respect to the driving shaft.

A developer includes a developer frame in which a developing agent is contained, a development roller that is rotatably disposed inside the developer frame. Coupling means couples the development roller to the developer frame. The coupling means includes a gear member that is rotatably mounted to the developer frame and engages a first gear disposed outside the developer to transfer a rotational force. A development roller end portion rotates with the gear member in the same direction about the same rotational shaft as the gear member. An image forming apparatus includes a photosensitive medium on which an electrostatic latent image corresponding to an image to be printed is formed through light scanning and the developer, which applies a developing agent to the photosensitive medium to develop the image into a visible image.

The rectangular planar-type ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma) antenna having a balanced ratio of a magnetic field and an electric potential is capable of improving uniformity of plasma as well as improving a density of plasma. The planar-type ICP antenna includes first and second antenna elements spirally shaped outwards from an end thereof, respectively. The ends of the fist and second antenna elements are interconnected by means of a grounded common terminal. A RF power source is connected to a powered common terminal for connecting first and second powered terminals that are the other ends of the first and second antenna elements. The first and second powered terminals are arranged in peripheral portions of the antenna and the grounded common terminal is arranged in a center portion of the antenna in order to compensate for a drop of plasma ion flux in a region to which power is applied.
摘要:
A developing cartridge having a simplified mounting/separation configuration and an image forming apparatus having the same. The image forming apparatus includes a main body, a developing cartridge unit provided in the main body to form an image, a tray unit configured to accommodate the developing cartridge unit and movably mounted in the main body, a first link member movably coupled to the tray unit, and a second link member provided in the main body to be moved simultaneously with the first link member. The first link member includes a pressure piece to press the second link member such that the second link member does not interfere with the developing cartridge unit during movement of the first link member.
