摘要： A powder container for an electrophotographic image forming apparatus includes a deformable bag and a powder discharging portion made up of a tapered portion and a toner outlet. A buckling reducing device reduces the buckling of part of the bag adjoining the tapered portion and toner outlet. The toner container prevents the discharge of powder from being deteriorated by buckling, thereby reducing the amount of powder to be left in the container. Further, a device is provided for maintaining the upright position of the bag. A toner discharging device for discharging the toner from the toner container is also disclosed.

摘要： In an image forming apparatus, a toner container removably set on the apparatus and a developing section included in the apparatus are communicated to each other by a delivery passage. Toner can be delivered from the toner container to the developing section via the delivery passage by a stream of air even when the container and developing section are located at remote positions.

摘要： A hollow, cylindrical toner bottle of the present invention discharges toner stored therein when mounted to an electrophotographic image forming apparatus in a substantially horizontal position and then rotated about its axis. The toner bottle is made up of a mouth including a toner outlet and a cylindrical wall, and a body including a circumferential wall and a bottom. The mouth is formed by injection molding. The outer circumference of the toner outlet has circularity of 0.7 mm or below.

摘要： A powder container of the present invention is made up of a deformable bag for storing desired powder and a box more rigid than the bag for accommodating the bag. The bag includes an outlet portion for discharging the power. Despite that the bag is flexible, the powder container does not fall down when mounted to an image forming apparatus. Further, the powder container is easy to assemble and easy to transport at the time of collection. A method of assembling the toner container and an image forming apparatus using the same are also disclosed.
