Embodiment 1
[0054] (imaging equipment)
[0055] The toner supply container (so-called toner cartridge) of Embodiment 1 is loaded into a toner receiver of an image forming apparatus, which is an electrophotographic type copier in this embodiment.
[0056] figure 1 Such a copier is shown.
[0057] In this figure, indicated by 100 is the main assembly of the electrophotographic copier. Indicated by 101 is an original placed on an original supporting platen glass 102 . An optical image indicative of image information is projected on an image bearing member in the form of an electrophotographic photosensitive drum 104 through the mirror M and the lens Ln of the optical section 103 . Indicated by reference numerals 105-108 are cartons. Appropriate paper is selected from the paper size information of the cassettes 105-108 corresponding to the paper size of the original 101 or information input by the user at the operation section, and the appropriate paper is picked up from one of the casset...
Embodiment 2
[0234] refer to Figure 14 , the toner supply container 1 according to Embodiment 2 will be described. The basic structure of the container is the same as that of the previous embodiment, and therefore, description of its detailed structure will be omitted for simplicity.
[0235] In Embodiment 1, the opening protrusion and the sealing protrusion are used for the relevant parts of the toner supply container. In Example 2, snap-fit type engagement is used. In Embodiment 1, the toner supply container is installed substantially in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the toner supply container. However, in Embodiment 2, the toner supply container is attached to the toner receiving device substantially in the longitudinal direction of the toner supply container.
[0236] This is the main difference between the toner supply container and Embodiment 1. In the drawings, the same reference numerals as in Embodiment 1 are assigned to elements having correspo...
Embodiment 3
[0292] refer to Figure 22 and 23 , Embodiment 3 will be described. The basic structure of this embodiment is the same as Embodiments 1 and 2, and therefore, detailed description of common parts is omitted. In the drawings, the same reference numerals as in Embodiments 1 and 2 are assigned to elements having corresponding functions. exist Figure 22 Among them, (a) is a perspective view of the whole toner supply container, and (b) is a perspective view of an inner cylinder. exist Figure 23 Among them, (a) shows the state when the outer cylinder is at the installation position, and (b) shows the state when the outer cylinder is at the setting position, and (c) shows the state when the outer cylinder is at the supply position status at the time.
[0293] In Embodiments 1 and 2, the container body 1a containing the toner is rotated, but in this embodiment, the portion which does not function as the toner containing portion is rotated.
[0294] Such as Figure 22 As shown...
