Embodiment Construction

[0023] The toner container according to the present invention includes at least a container body for accommodating toner, and a cap having a plurality of supporting means for supporting and rotatably supporting the container body. In the present invention, by making the portion of the supporting means contacting the container body have a shape that is in discontinuous contact with the container body in the rotational direction of the container body, thereby ensuring the rotational slidability of the container body and achieving The cap can stably support the container body.

[0024] That is to say, by making the shape of the support means and the contact part of the container body be the above-mentioned structure, a contact state close to multiple point contacts is formed at the contact position of the support means and the container body, which reduces the contact area of ​​the support means and the container body . Thereby, the frictional surface of the contact portion is r...

Abstract

The present invention provides a toning agent container composed of a container main body and a nut cap, capable of embodying good rotation sliding character and firmly supporting the container main body. the toning agent container includes at least the container main body (1) for storing the toning agent and the nut cap having a plurality of support means for supporting the container main body to rotate, the part of the support means contacted with the container main body is of a shape that is discontinuously contacted with the container main body in the rotating direction of the container main body.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a toner container incorporated in an electrophotographic image forming apparatus to supply toner to the image forming apparatus. Background technique [0002] Most electrophotographic image forming apparatuses supply toner from a toner container called a toner cartridge (hereinafter referred to as a toner container). That is to say, the image forming apparatus that adopts the toner cartridge is to install the toner cartridge into the image forming apparatus, supply the toner directly to the image forming apparatus in the loaded state, and replace the new toner cartridge after printing a predetermined number of sheets. , so that printing can continue. [0003] Some of these toner cartridges are designed in such a way that the toner container body can be rotated in the image forming apparatus after being installed in the image forming apparatus, and the toner contained in the container body is rotated to be transported t...
