A method of reproducing a process cartridge or a developing apparatus includes the step of removing a supporting member from a developing frame body, the step of separating a developer container and the developing frame body from each other in a joint portion wherein the developer container and the developing frame body are joined together, the sticking step of sticking a seal member on an opening portion for supplying a developer in the separated developer container to close the opening portion, the developer refilling step of refilling the developer container with the developer, the step of recoupling the developer container and the developing frame body together thereafter, and the step of reattaching the supporting member onto one of the developer container and the developing frame body. As a result, the recycling of the developing apparatus or the process cartridge can be effected easily.

A method of remanufacturing a process cartridge includes a step of removing a pin to thereby separate a drum unit and a developing container, a step of separating a developing frame and a developer frame from each other to thereby separate the developing container, a step of resupplying the developer to a developer containing portion of the developer frame, a step of superposing a reseal member on end portion seal members provided at lengthwise one end and other end of a developer supply opening for supplying the developer contained in a developer containing portion to a developing roller, and interposing the reseal member on each of widthwise one end and other end of the developer supply opening along the lengthwise direction of the developer supply opening, and reuniting the developing frame and the developer frame, and a step of reuniting the reconstructed developing container and the drum unit.
摘要:
A disassembling tool pushes first and second coupling members out of a process cartridge that also has an electrophotographic photosensitive member, and first and second coupling members for rotatably coupling first and second frames of the cartridge together. The disassembling tool includes first and second base bodies, first and second engagement portions provided on the first and second base bodies respectively, and engageable with the cartridge to position the cartridge when the tool is mounted on the cartridge, and first and second pushing-out portions provided for movement relative to the first and second base bodies, respectively, for pushing out the first and second coupling members, respectively. The first and second engagement portions are provided at a location opposed to the first and second pushing-out portions, respectively, in a movement direction in which the first and second pushing-out portions are moved, respectively.

A developing device including a developer bearing member for bearing and conveying a developer thereon, the developer bearing member having at a lengthwise end portion thereof a spacer for keeping a spacing between it and an image bearing member, a sealing member for preventing the leakage of the developer from the lengthwise end portions of the developer bearing member, a conductive member disposed in the vicinity of the sealing member, and an insulation member provided between the sealing member and the conductive member for electrically insulating the sealing member from the conductive member, the insulation member having a cleaning portion for cleaning the spacer.
摘要:
A LCD display includes a light source section, a LCD panel including a plurality of pixels each having sub-pixels of R, G, B, and Z, and a display control section including an output signal generation section. The display control section performs a display drive on the sub-pixels with use of the respective output video signals, and performs a lighting drive on the light source section with use of the lighting signal. The output signal generation section generates output video signals corresponding to the respective four colors, based on the input video signals, and generates a lighting signal of the light source section, based on the input video signals, to perform a predetermined dimming processing, based on both the input video signals and the generated lighting signal, and finally generates the output video signals through performing a predetermined color conversion processing, based on a resultant video signal from the dimming processing.
