    摘要: A powder container includes a cylindrical container body to contain a powder, having an opening in one end thereof, to convey the powder contained in the container body to the opening with rotation of the container body, and having a container-body projection provided on an outer circumferential surface of the container body; and a cylindrical holder, into which the end of the container body having the opening is inserted, to hold the container body rotatably, having a powder outlet through which the powder is discharged from the holder and a holder projection provided on an inner circumferential surface thereof. The container-body projection repetitively contacts and separates from the holder projection with rotation of the container body to vibrate the container body and the holder.

    摘要: A developing device includes a developing roller, a developing case, and a support. The developing roller includes a sleeve and a magnetic field generator. The sleeve is rotatable and includes a hollow shaft at an axial end of the sleeve. The magnetic field generator is irrotationally disposed inside the sleeve and includes a non-rotating shaft at an axial end of the magnetic field generator. The non-rotating shaft penetrates through the hollow shaft and projects outward. The developing case is configured to store developer and rotatably supports the hollow shaft. The support includes a fitting portion into which the non-rotating shaft of the magnetic field generator is irrotationally fitted. The support is supported on the developing case using the fitting portion as a main-positioning portion.

    摘要: A conveying device, which is included in an image forming apparatus, includes a conveying body, a conveyance passage, and an inlet portion. The conveying body has an elastic material and is configured to convey one of toner and developer. The conveyance passage includes the conveying body therein. The one of toner and developer is conveyed to the conveyance passage in a conveying direction as the conveying body rotates. The inlet portion is formed at an upstream side of the conveyance passage and is configured to pass the one of toner and developer therethrough into the conveyance passage. The conveying body has an exposed portion exposed through the inlet portion being exposed inside the conveyance passage. A portion of the exposed portion of the conveying body includes a high rigidity portion having rigidity greater than rigidity of a non high rigidity portion of the conveying body.

    摘要: The present invention provides a communication connector arranged on an image-forming apparatus body to provide communications with an information storage device including a guide portion and installed on a detachable device. The connector includes a body terminal which, when the detachable device is attached to the apparatus body, contacts a contact terminal of the information storage device, and a body projection extending in a moving direction of the detachable device and having a slope at its distal end. The body terminal is arranged on the body projection and configured not to project further than the slope, to be exposed to outside from a portion other than the slope, and to contact the contact terminal inside the guide portion when the body projection is inserted thereinto. An inclination angle θ of an end portion of the slope is not smaller than an inclination angle θ1 of the slope.
