    摘要: A toner conveyance device includes a vertical conveyance portion, a horizontal conveyance portion, a conveyance member, and a loosening member. The vertical conveyance portion conveys a toner or a developer containing the toner conveyed therein through an entry port connected to a main-body-side conveyance path by causing the toner or the developer to fall vertically. The horizontal conveyance portion is connected to a lower end of the vertical conveyance portion and conveys the toner or the developer in a horizontal direction by using the conveyance member arranged in the horizontal conveyance portion. The loosening member is arranged so as to be movable between a first position below a connection portion between the main-body-side conveyance path and the entry port and a second position protruding upward beyond the connection portion and reciprocates in a vertical direction at each of the first position and the second position.

    摘要: In accordance with one or more aspects, a toner cartridge may be detachably attached to an image forming device. The toner cartridge may be provided with a cartridge case. This cartridge case may be provided with a toner chamber, a cartridge side feed opening for feeding a toner from the toner chamber to the outside of the cartridge case, and a cartridge side return opening from the outside of the cartridge case to the toner chamber. The cartridge side feed opening and the cartridge side return opening may be offset along a horizontal direction. A bottom surface of the toner chamber may slant downward from the cartridge side return opening to the cartridge side feed opening.

    摘要: A toner cartridge adapted to fit within a toner cartridge-receiving cavity of a printer. The body of the cartridge comprises a front section, which houses the photoconductive drum common in all printers, capable of being biased in relation to the rest of the cartridge which houses the developer roller. The placement of a mechanical biasing element, or developer roller preserver, between the main body and front section creates a gap between the rigid photoconductive drum and the relatively soft developer roller. This gap prevents a “flat spot” from forming along the length of the developer roller during periods of long storage or non-use.

    摘要: A developing apparatus includes a developing roller, a toner-supplying roller, and at least one toner-supplying member. The developing roller develops an electrostatic latent image formed on a photoconductive drum with toner. The toner-supplying roller is formed of a foamed material and rotates in contact with the developing roller to supply the toner to the developing roller. The toner-supplying member is disposed over the toner-supplying roller and opposes an upper surface of the toner-supplying roller. The toner-supplying member approaches the toner-supplying roller periodically to supply the toner to the toner-supplying roller. When the toner-supplying member is closest to the toner-supplying roller, the developer-supplying member and the toner-supplying roller are either in contact with each other or are spaced apart by a distance not longer than 0.8 mm.

    摘要: A toner cartridge with a handle formed centrally in a trailing end of the cartridge. The handle is dished to comfortably accept a hand and is adapted such that a user will recognize that said handle is dedicated to receiving the user's hand. The cartridge is therefore installed and removed without binding since the user's hand is centered as a result of the placement of the user's hand in said handle.
