A process cartridge detachably mountable to an image forming apparatus includes an image bearing member; process device actable on the image bearing member; a first frame containing the image bearing member and the process device; and a second frame engageable with and disengageable from the first frame and containing a developer container.
摘要:
A process cartridge mountable to an image forming apparatus includes a frame, an image bearing member, a toner carrying member for directing toner to the image bearing member, and a magnet disposed within the toner carrying member. A common positioning member, separate from the frame, contacts each of the image bearing member and the magnet to mutually position the image bearing member and the magnet.
摘要:
A process cartridge detachably mountable to a main assembly of an image forming apparatus, the cartridge comprising a photosensitive member, a developing means for developing a latent image formed on the photosensitive member, a first frame containing the developing means; and a second frame coupled with the first frame, the second frame including a developer containing portion for containing a developer to be supplied to the developing means to develop the latent image, wherein the second frame is a selected one of plural secondary frames engageable with the first frame and having different developer containing capacities.

A process cartridge detachably mountable to an image forming apparatus includes a device contributable for forming an image; a developer accommodator; and a sealing member between the image forming device and the developer accommodator, wherein the sealing member is provided by injecting a liquid material which becomes an elastomer when it is solidified.
摘要:
A process cartridge detachably mountable to a main assembly of an electrophotographic image forming apparatus, wherein the main assembly includes a motor, a main assembly side gear for receiving driving force from the motor and a non-twisted recess which is substantially coaxial with the gear, the process cartridge includes an electrophotographic photosensitive drum; a process device actable on the photosensitive drum; and a non-twisted projection engageable with the recess, the projection being provided at a longitudinal end of the photosensitive drum, wherein when the main assembly side gear rotates with the recess and projection engaged with each other, rotational driving force is transmitted from the gear to the photosensitive drum through engagement between the recess and the projection.
摘要:
A process cartridge includes a first frame in which a toner containing unit for containing toner used for a developing operation and a charger unit are mounted, and a second frame which can be engaged by and disengaged from the first frame, and in which an image bearing member, a developing unit and cleaning unit are mounted. With this arrangement, the assembling ability and disassembling ability are improved remarkably, and the process cartridge is suitable for the re-cycling to contribute to the protection of the earth-environment.
摘要:
A process cartridge detachably mountable to a main assembly of an image forming apparatus, includes a plurality of process device including at least one member having an electrically conductive cylinder; a supporting frame for supporting as a unit the plural process devices; and an electrode, in the supporting frame, having a first portion electrically contactable to the main assembly and a second portion press-contacted to an end surface of the cylindrical member.
