    摘要: The present application is directed to cartridges for use in image forming devices. In one embodiment, the toner cartridge includes a body with an enclosed interior to contain toner. An electrical connector with one or more electrical contacts may be positioned on a first side of the body. A handle may be mounted to a second side of the body opposite from the first side. The handle may be movable between an open orientation that extends outward from the body and a closed orientation positioned in proximity to the body. A biasing member may be operatively connected to the handle to force the handle towards the open orientation. When the cartridge is mounted in the image forming device, a lid on the image forming device may be closed which moves the handle to the closed orientation. In this orientation, the biasing member may exert a force directed towards the second side. In one embodiment, this force maintains the electrical connector engaged with a corresponding receptacle in the image forming device.

    摘要: The present application is directed to retainers and methods of retaining a developer unit within an image forming device. One embodiment may include positioning a retainer attached to a frame at a first position with a second end of the retainer positioned away from the developer unit. A toner cartridge may be inserted into the image forming device in a vertical direction and contact against retainer. The toner cartridge may laterally move the retainer relative to the frame from the first position to a second position with the second end positioned to prevent removal of the developer unit from the frame. Another embodiment features a system to retain a developer unit in an image forming device. The system may include a frame configured to receive the developer unit and the toner cartridge. A retainer may be movably attached to the frame and include a first end with a ramped surface, and a second end spaced away from the first end. The retainer may be movable between a first position prior to insertion of the toner cartridge with the second end positioned away from the developer unit, and a second position after insertion of the toner cartridge with the second end positioned to prevent removal of the developer unit from the frame.

    摘要: The present application is directed to toner cartridges with a bearing plate to locate and provide a bearing surface to one or more rotational members. The bearing plate may be positioned on an outer wall of a body of a toner cartridge. The bearing plate may include apertures to receive shafts of a series of rotational members. The bearing plate may locate the shafts relative to the body such that each is operatively connected together through a gear train. Bearing plate may also provide a bearing surface for the rotating shafts.

    摘要: Gear (52) and resin body (2) supported on shaft (1) and between frame members (14a) and (14b) are protected from contacting a frame member. Frame (14a) has a partial hole (22) with an opening (24) and a cavity (26), which is open at the hole (22) and on the side toward the opening (24). A bearing (18) has a inner body (30) which internally is partially circular with diameter substantially the same as opening (22). The outer portion of body (30) forms an outwardly extending nub (34). Wall (36) extends across body (30). The part (38) of bearing 18 opposite body 30 has an extended part (38a) to serve as an electrical contact. A shaft end (Sa) past a circular ledge (3a) is supported by bearing (18). The nub (34) fits in the cavity (26) and the wall (36) defines the proper position of rotation of the bearing. This protects gear (52) from being dislodged from its position on shaft (1). Where the resin body (2) is for electrophotographic developing, toner carried by the body (2) is not subject to effects from the body contacting a frame element or the like.
