摘要： A system with a container including a protrusion, and a receiver to receive the container. The receiver includes a slide block that is movable relative to a body of the receiver, the slide block including two surfaces, a first surface, initially contacted by the protrusion of the container during insertion of the container into the receiver, having a first slope to resist movement of the container towards the receiver, and a second surface, subsequently contacted by the protrusion of the container during the insertion of the container into the receiver, having a second slope to interact with the protrusion of the container to assist movement of the container towards the receiver. This construction provides the user with a changing insertion force to indicate proper mounting of the container.

摘要： A toner container for use with an image forming apparatus which includes a horizontally mounted toner body mounted within the image forming apparatus, a toner outlet to discharge toner in a downward direction, and a shutter to open and close the toner outlet which moves along a first and second rail. The second rail is disposed downstream of the first rail in the insertion direction of the toner body and parallel to the length of the toner body. The longitudinal length of the first rail is smaller than the longitudinal length of the second rail.

摘要： A toner replenishing device includes a sub hopper (toner container), a toner detection sensor, an agitator, and a paddle. The sub hopper contains toner. The toner detection sensor is located on a wall surface in the sub hopper and detects whether toner remains at a height at which it is located. The agitator rotates in the sub hopper to clean the detection surface of the toner detection sensor. The paddle serves as a toner collecting unit that collects toner to the vicinity of the detection surface of the toner detection sensor in the sub hopper.
