In a container is adapted to be coupled with another container, a first wall member defines a first storage space adapted to store developing agent for forming an image on a recording medium. A first coupler is adapted to be coupled with a second coupler provided with the first another container. A first communicator is operable to communicate the first storage space with a second storage space provided with the first another container by way of the first coupler and the second coupler, when the container is coupled with another container.

A developer containing device is provided with a housing that includes a first housing section and a second housing section and that is configured to contain a developer. A protrusion provided on the first housing section and a recess provided in the second housing section are welded together through vibration welding in a state where the protrusion is fitted into the recess. An outer wall of the recess is thicker than an inner wall of the recess.

An electrostatic latent image is formed on an image carrier. A developer includes a container containing toner, a first roller facing the image carrier and rotated to cause the toner to adhere onto the image carrier to develop the electrostatic latent image as a toner image, a second roller supplying the toner from the container to the first roller, and a control member extending in an axial direction of the first roller and brought into contact with the first roller. A tip end edge of the control member is situated in an upstream side of a contact line that extends in the axial direction so as to include at least one contact point between the control member and the first roller, relative to a rotating direction of the first roller. A distance between the tip end edge and the contact line is not constant relative to the axial direction.

A developing device includes a toner supporter for supporting toner, a toner supply member being pressed against the toner supporter to supply the toner to the toner supporter and a thickness regulation member for regulating thickness of the toner supplied to the toner supporter by the toner supply member. The thickness regulation member abuts the toner supporter on the toner supply member side of the toner supporter.
摘要:
A method for manufacturing a developing agent carrier of a hollow or solid cylindrical shape having an outer peripheral surface and an irregularity section formed on the outer peripheral surface to carry a developing agent is provided. The method comprises a step of preparing a base material of a hollow or solid cylindrical shape which is to become the developing agent carrier, the base material having an outer peripheral surface; and a step of forming the irregularity section by pressing dice for formation of the irregularity section against the outer peripheral surface of the base material. The irregularity section forming step comprises a first step of forming a plurality of first depression portions on the outer peripheral surface of the base material by use of a die and a second step of forming a plurality of second depression portions on the outer peripheral surface of the base material by use of a die identical with or different from the die used in forming the first depression portions, in such a manner that the second depression portions are dislocated from the first depression portions.
