Abstract

The invention provides an image forming apparatus and a toner case. The image forming apparatus includes a toner case and an attachment member. The toner case has a case main body, one or more rotating members and a transmission coupling. The attachment member has a drive coupling, an advance / retreat member and a lever. The advance / retreat member advances and retreats between a first position and a second position being closer to the drive coupling than the first position. The lever is moved between a first operation position to move the advance / retreat member to the first position and a second operation position to move the advance / retreat member to the second position. When the toner case is attached to the attachment member, the toner case engages with the advance / retreat member. In this time, when the lever is moved from the first operation position to the second operation position, the toner case together with the advance / retreat member approaches to the drive coupling and the transmission coupling is connected to the drive coupling.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image forming apparatus and a toner container provided on the image forming apparatus. Background technique [0002] In an electrophotographic image forming apparatus, a developing device supplies toner (developer) to an electrostatic latent image formed on a surface of a photosensitive drum or the like to perform a developing process. In addition, the toner used in such a developing process is supplied to the developing device from a toner container such as a toner cartridge and an intermediate toner storage tank. [0003] The toner container has: a container main body provided with a discharge port for discharging toner; a rotating member (such as a stirring plate or a conveying screw) provided on the container main body so as to be rotatable; a transmission coupling device, which is connected to the rotating part. In addition, the driving coupling connected to a power source such as a motor drives the rotating p...
