When a cushioning member is fitted to a tubular part in a first facing direction, an inner circumferential surface of the tubular part contacts a part of a second protruding portion, a first portion of a first protruding portion contacts a first contact region, a second portion of a third protruding portion contacts a second contact region, a third portion of the third protruding portion contacts a third contact region, and a distance between the first contact region and the second contact region is smaller than a distance between the first contact region and the third contact region, and a length of the second contact region from a base portion in a direction of protrusion is greater than a length of the third contact region from the base portion in a direction of protrusion.

The image forming apparatus is provided with: an image carrier; an exposure member that exposes the image carrier and forms an electrostatic latent image on the image carrier; a developing member that develops the electrostatic latent image formed on the image carrier; and a contact-retracting unit that rotates the developing member taking a predetermined position as the rotational center, and brings the developing member in contact with or proximity to the image carrier or retracts the developing member from the image carrier.

A developer container includes a containing portion that is capable of containing a developer therein, the containing portion having an opening through which the developer passes; a first opening/closing member that is movable between a first open position at which the opening is open and a first closed position at which the first opening/closing member closes the opening; and a second opening/closing member that is movable between a second closed position at which the second opening/closing member doubly closes the opening by covering an outside of the first opening/closing member and a second open position at which the first opening/closing member is exposed to the outside, wherein a direction in which the second opening/closing member moves between the second open position and the second closed position is different from a direction in which the first opening/closing member moves between the first open position and the first closed position.

A powder storage container includes a container body, an opening formed in a portion of the container body, an opening-and-closing cover, a cover holding frame, a protrusion portion provided in the opening-and-closing cover, a blocking portion provided in the cover holding frame, a position regulating protrusion protruding from the cover holding frame, and a disengagement suppressing protrusion provided in the opening-and-closing cover. When the opening-and-closing cover takes such an attitude that the opening-and-closing cover is swingably supported by a contact portion, serving as a fulcrum, between the disengagement suppressing protrusion and the cover holding frame and is arranged along the opening-and-closing operation direction, a distal end position of the protrusion portion is located in a position where the distal end position can be released from the blocking portion.

An image forming apparatus includes a developer that develops a latent image to form an image, a separation unit that separates image information of a job image by color upon writing a latent image of the job image, a comparison unit that compares the image information by color separated by the separation unit with a threshold value previously set with respect to an image concentration, and a driving condition determination unit that determines a driving condition of the developer using a result of comparison by the comparison unit.

摘要:
There is provided a development apparatus including: a first developer storage container and a second developer storage container that store developer, having a first a and second openings, respectively; a first transport member provided within the first developer storage container, and that causes the developer to move to the second developer storage container via the first opening; a second transport member provided within the second developer storage container, and that causes the developer to move to the first developer storage container via the second opening; a developer holding member that performs development by causing the developer to move to a position facing an image holding body on which a latent image is formed; and a moving member provided so as to fit between an inner wall face of the second developer storage container and an outer edge of the second transport member.
