Embodiment 1
[0035] First, refer to Figure 1 to Figure 16 The structure of an image forming apparatus in which the process cartridge according to the present invention is provided in this embodiment, the process cartridge also functioning as a developing cartridge including a developer accommodating container is described. Incidentally, in the following description, the rotation axis direction ( image 3 The left-right direction in ) is referred to as the longitudinal direction, and the image bearing member is used to form an electrostatic latent image on the surface of the photosensitive drum 62 .
[0036] Also, refer to the image 3 In the longitudinal direction of the photosensitive drum 62 shown as the left-right direction, the side of the photosensitive drum 62 that receives the driving force from the main assembly of the image forming apparatus A ( image 3 The right side in ) is called the driving side ( Figure 4 The driving force receiving portion 63a side shown in ), and the ...
Embodiment 2
[0139] Next, refer to Figure 9 , will describe an image forming apparatus according to the present invention in the configuration of this embodiment, in which a process cartridge also functions as a developing cartridge, the process cartridge including a developer accommodating container. Incidentally, constituent elements similar to those in Embodiment 1 described above are denoted by the same reference numerals or symbols, and description thereof will be omitted.
[0140] In Example 1, such as Figure 7 As shown, an example is described in which the auxiliary unsealing member 100 and the rotatable member 45 as the unsealing member are provided inside the toner chamber 29 . In this example, if Figure 9 As shown, an auxiliary unsealing member 100 and a rotatable member 45 as an unsealing member are provided outside the toner chamber 29 and inside the toner supply chamber 28 .
[0141] Figure 9 is a perspective view showing a state when peeling off of the sealing portion...
Embodiment 3
[0147] Next, refer to Figure 10 , the image forming apparatus according to the present invention in the configuration of this embodiment in which the process cartridge also functions as a developing cartridge including a developer accommodating container will be described. Incidentally, configuration elements similar to those of the above-described embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals or symbols, and descriptions thereof will be omitted.
[0148] In the above-described embodiments, a configuration is applied in which the toner T is directly accommodated in the developing container. In the present embodiment, a configuration is applied in which a flexible container 300 formed of a flexible material is provided inside the developing container 23 and the toner T is accommodated in the flexible container 300 . Also, the flexible container 300 is provided with the toner supply port 27 as an opening on the side facing the toner supply chamber 28, and is provided f...
