Embodiment Construction

[0036] Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0037] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of an image forming apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

[0038] This image forming apparatus includes a cylindrical image holding member, that is, a photosensitive drum 1 . An electrostatic latent image is formed on the surface of the image holding member. In addition, the image forming apparatus includes: charging means 2 which charges the surface of the photosensitive drum substantially uniformly; written on the photosensitive drum 1 that has been uniformly charged; a developing device 4 that forms a toner image by attaching toner to an electrostatic latent image; and a transfer roller 5 that transfers the toner formed on the photosensitive drum The image is transferred to the recording paper. Recording paper is supplied between the transfer roller 5 and t...

Abstract

The invention provides a storage container, a supply device and an image forming apparatus. The storage container includes a container body that stores a supplementary material and is detachably attached to an image forming apparatus; a discharge port that is provided at a bottom of the container body; two protrusions that protrude from the container body toward both sides; and an opening-closingmember that is movably supported by a guide frame surrounding the discharge port, wherein a rearward movement of the opening-closing member is restricted by stoppers while the container body is mounted on the mounting unit, the protrusions come in contact with the stoppers and push the stoppers laterally to release the restriction of the opening-closing member while the container body is pulled out of the image forming apparatus, and a width, in an attaching/detaching direction of the container body, of one protrusion of the protrusions is smaller than that of the other protrusion.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a storage container, a supply device, and an image forming device. Background technique [0002] In an image forming apparatus that forms a visible image by transferring toner onto an electrostatic latent image formed on an image holding member, toner stored in a developing device is consumed as the image is formed. There is known a well-known image forming apparatus provided with a toner storage container for supplying toner according to toner consumption. The toner storage container may be detachably connected to the image forming apparatus, and toner stored in the toner storage container may be supplied to the developing device while the toner storage container is mounted on the image forming apparatus. Furthermore, after the toner stored in the toner storage container is supplied to the developing device, the toner storage container is detached from the image forming apparatus and can be replaced with a new toner s...
