Problems solved by technology

Therefore, for example, when the toner container is removed from the image forming apparatus, if the transmission mechanism is operated due to erroneous transmission of rotational driving force, there is a danger that the user's fingers will be caught by the transmission mechanism.
In addition, even in the state in which the transmission mechanism is inactive, there is a risk of injuring fingers by the teeth of the gear teeth included in the transmission mechanism.
In addition, when the toner container is held, there is a risk that the gear position of the transmission mechanism is shifted due to finger touching the transmission mechanism, resulting in damage to the transmission mechanism during driving.

Abstract

The invention provides a toner container having a receiving part capable of receiving a toner and an image forming apparatus. The toner container comprises a long-strip container main body; a first rotary component rotatably arranged inside the container main body; a stirring component rotatably arranged inside the container main body, being parallel to the first rotary component, and stirring a toner in the container main body; a flat-shaped cover component sealing an opening part of a casing of the container main body; a first bearing part arranged at an inside face of the cover component, and rotatably supporting a first end part, located at a cover component side of the first rotary bearing, of the first rotary component; a stirring bearing part arranged at the inside face of the cover component and rotatably supporting an end part, located at a cover side of the cover component side of a stirring rotary shaft, of the stirring component; a recessed receiving recess formed on the cover component and being recessed from the surface of the cover component to the inside; and a conveying mechanism capable of conveying rotation of the first rotary shaft to the stirring rotary shaft from the first end part through a cover side end and arranged at the receiving recess of the cover component.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a toner container and an image forming apparatus having an accommodating portion capable of accommodating toner. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, image forming apparatuses capable of forming images on paper using a developer containing toner have been known. Such an image forming apparatus is provided with a toner container for replenishing toner to a developing device provided inside. The toner container is detachably provided on the apparatus main body of the image forming apparatus. When the toner container in the toner container is consumed and the toner container becomes empty, the toner container is removed from the image forming apparatus and replaced with a new toner container containing unused toner. [0003] In addition, the toner container is provided with a conveying member for conveying the stored unused toner to the developing device of the image forming apparatus, and a stirring member for ...
