摘要:
A color image forming machine includes a plurality of exposure units for irradiating an image carrier movable in a secondary scanning direction of the exposure units by primary scanning beams, at a plurality of irradiation positions to form latent images, a plurality of charging units for charging the image carrier corresponding to the irradiation positions of the exposure units and a plurality of developing units to form toner images corresponding the latent images. The plurality of toner images are superimposed on the image carrier to obtain a multi-color or full-color images trough transferring and fixing. A light-reflective registration mark is provided to a non-image area on one side of the image carrier. Employing at least two exposure units, irradiation by each primary scanning beam is conducted to the light-reflective registration mark moving in the secondary scanning direction. Each reflected beam from the registration mark is received by a plurality of photoreceptor sensors and then detection signals of a registration mark position are generated. Timing of writing by the primary scanning beam and a distance between bright lines formed on the image carrier by primary scanning beams of at least two exposure units are detected. The detected result is fed back to control the start timing of image writing and the driving of the image carrier.

An exposure device includes a polygon mirror to scan a photoreceptors with a plurality of laser beams to write plural color component latent images. The polygon mirror receives two laser beams at its two mirrors which are arranged diagonal to each other and reflects the two laser beams in the opposite directions to each other so that a first laser beam scans from the first side to the second side of the photoreceptor. On the photoreceptor are provided sensors to output first and second position signals independently when the first and second laser beams pass respectively the reference position mark disposed at one side on the photoreceptor. The exposure device is controlled in accordance with the position signals so that the start timing of the first laser beam is determined on the basis of the first position signal which is obtained in the current scanning line of the first laser beam and that the start timing of the second laser beam is determined on the basis of the second position signal which has been obtained in the previous scanning line of the second laser beam.

A developing agent replenishing apparatus includes a developing agent receiving port for receiving a developing agent from a replenishment cartridge which stores developing agent when the cartridge is mounted and a conveyor for conveying the developing agent received in the receiving port to a developing device. The developer agent receiving port has a receiving opening and the replenishment cartridge has a replenishment opening. Cylindrical expandable covers are provided at the receiving and replenishment openings for opening or closing these openings.

The image forming apparatus includes: a developing device to develop an image by using developer; a developer container portion to supply the developer to the developing device; a developer cartridge which is attachable to or detachable from the developer container portion; and a driving means to rotate the developer cartridge. The developer cartridge further includes the following: a) a cartridge main body having a shape which facilitates movement of the developer toward a developer supply port by being rotated around a rotation axis by the driving means; b) a developer supply portion having the developer supply port to supply the developer to the image forming apparatus; and c) an opening/closing covering member to open and close the developer supply port. The opening/closing covering member includes an engagement member to connect the developer supply port with the opening/closing covering member so that the engagement member positions the opening/closing covering member at an opened state of the developer supply port when the developer cartridge is mounted in the image forming apparatus and the developer cartridge is rotated around the rotation axis.

A revolution control for a sun and planetary gear system including supporting members for the planetary gears which are revolvable around the same gear and a cam mechanism engaging a portion of the supporting member. The cam mechanism includes a cam shaft carrying a plurality of cams and there is a driving gear engaging the cam shaft. Also, two transmission gear trains present permit the driving gears to operate in either direction while still driving the toner replenishers in the same direction.

A developer in use with an image forming apparatus. The developer includes: a developing sleeve which rotates and holds toner on itself so as to develop a latent image on a photoreceptor with the toner; a driving motor for generating a rotational driving force; a drive transmission for transmitting the rotational driving force of the driving motor to the developing cartridge in which the drive transmission has a transmitting state and an untransmitting state; and a shock easing controller or member for easing a shock of transmission of the rotational driving force to the developing sleeve in the transmitting state, in which the shock easing controller or member is provided in at least one of the driving means and the drive transmission means.

An image forming apparatus for forming a toner image. The apparatus includes: a photoreceptor drum, having a side surface and a circumferential surface, for forming an image on the circumferential surface: a driving means for driving the photoreceptor drum; a sliding member for decreasing steady state speed fluctuations of the photoreceptor drum; and an elastic member for pressing the sliding member onto the side surface of the photoreceptor drum.

A method and apparatus for a game that makes it possible to freely establish a region by expanding or contracting various regions relating to a game with a simple operation. If a closed region for expansion or contraction is moved to a position adjacent to an already established expansion or contraction object region, and an expansion operation performed in a state where a boundary of the closed region for expansion or contraction and a boundary of the object region, the closed region for expansion or contraction is added to the original object region to enlarge the area of the object region. Thus, the boundary displayed overlapping on the object region and the closed region for expansion or contraction are removed, and a single linked boundary is formed on the new object region.

An image display game apparatus has a display screen which displays randomly selected five cards with their faces up. Based on the player's evaluation of the cards, the player selectively presses a first group of push buttons to select unwanted cards and indicate replacement of the cards. When the player presses a push button in a second group, the selected unwanted cards are replaced with new cards. If the new combination of the cards achieves a prize-winning hand, then the player wins and is awarded a credit based on odds for the prize-winning hand. The player then pushes another push button in the second group to receive medals corresponding to the credit. The image display game apparatus has an odds display device which displays a present prize-winning hand and odds thereof, a possible prize-winning hand and odds thereof, and other prize-winning hands and odds thereof in respective display modes, e.g., color shades, different from each other.
