Photosensitive member cartridge, developer cartridge and process cartridge having handle interlocking elements

Abstract

The invention provides a photographic developer box consisting of a framework, a photographic developer containing part, a photographic developer supplying part, a photographic developer electrode and an input gear. The framework consists of a first sidewall and a second sidewall, which extend basically in the direction of length. The photographic developer containing part used for containing the photographic developer extends basically from the first sidewall to the second sidewall in the direction of width vertical with the direction of length. The photographic developer supplying part used for supplying the photographic developer to the photosensitive component extends from the first sidewall to the second sidewall in the direction of width and contains a photographic developer-transmitting component. The photographic developer-transmitting component consists of a photographic developer-transmitting component shaft and a photographic developer-transmitting component body supported on the photographic developer-transmitting component shaft. The photographic developer-transmitting component shaft extends in the direction of width and is supported by the first sidewall and the second sidewall rotatablely. The photographic developer electrode exerts an electrical bias to the photographic developer-transmitting component and at least part of the photographic developer electrode is connected with the first sidewall and the photographic developer-transmitting component. The input gear provides a driving force for the rotary photographic developer-transmitting component.

Problems solved by technology

While numerous factors and / or requirements exacerbate this seemingly simple task, those skilled in the art will understand that different design considerations and requirements can actually make the process very complex

Also, it is well known that the overall size of process cartridges and / or image forming apparatuses has been significantly reduced in recent years, and for some practical purposes there are some "minimum size" restrictions for certain components of process cartridges and / or image forming apparatuses
