Abstract

An image forming apparatus includes an apparatus main body, an image carrier, a developing device, a developer housing container, and a connector. The connector includes a connector housing and elastically deformable second ground terminal and second input / output terminal. The connector housing includes an opening and an end edge. The end edge defines one side portion of the opening. The second ground terminal and the second input / output terminal are projected from the opening. The second ground terminal and the second input / output terminal contact the first ground terminal and the first input / output terminal, respectively by mounting the developer housing container to the internal space. The second ground terminal and the second input / output terminal each abut the end edges on the connector housing with elastic force. The abutment regulates a maximum amount of projection of the second ground terminal and the second input / output terminal with respect to the opening. Even when the developer container is detached at a plurality of postures with respect to the device main body, the poor contact of the storage part is inhibited.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image forming apparatus that forms an image on a sheet. Background technique [0002] A typical image forming apparatus that forms an image on a sheet is known to include an apparatus main body, a photosensitive drum (image carrier), a developing device, and a developer container. The developing device supplies developer to the photosensitive drum. As a result, the electrostatic latent image on the photosensitive drum is developed. The developer accommodating container supplies developer to the developing device. [0003] A technique is disclosed in which a developer storage container is detachable from an apparatus main body. In such a technique, when the cover member of the device main body is opened, the developer accommodating container is installed inside the device main body. In addition, when the developer discharge port of the developer storage container communicates with the developer supply port of the ...
