20090180815 | IMAGE FORMING UNIT AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - An image forming unit and an image forming apparatus comprising the image forming unit are supplied capable of preventing toner in bottom part of toner accommodating room from accumulating so as to obtain toner image with good quality. In the image forming unit, a developer accommodating section that accommodates developer; a developing member that supplies developer to an electrostatic latent image on an image carrying body; a supplying member that faces to the developing member and supplies developer to the developing member; and a conveying mechanism that conveys developer in bottom part of the developer accommodating section to the upper part of the developer accommodating section. | 07-16-2009 |
20100260510 | DEVELOPING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A developing device includes a developer supporting member for supplying developer to an image supporting member; a developer supplying member for supplying developer to the developer supporting member; and a stirring member disposed to be freely rotatable. The stirring member includes a free end portion arranged to contact with the developer supplying member and a stirring section for stirring developer when the stirring member rotates. | 10-14-2010 |
20110113807 | Air Conditioner - A locking claw on an outer face of a container portion made of resin is engaged with a locking hole in an outer periphery of a case made of sheet metal, the container portion being covered by the case, a locking claw on an outer face of a cover is engaged with a locking hole in an outer periphery of a lid body, the cover being covered by the lid body, they are assembled so that a part of an opening edge of an opening portion of the case is covered by an opening edge of an opening portion of the cover, the container portion and the case as well as the cover and the lid body are fixed to form an electric equipment box and a flame spread inhibiting path is formed between the lid body and the case. | 05-19-2011 |
20110135343 | DEVELOPING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS HAVING THE SAME - A developing device includes: a developer carrier configured to form a developer image on an image carrier by developing an electrostatic latent image on the image carrier; a developer supplier being in contact with the developer carrier and configured to supply a developer to an outer circumferential surface of the developer carrier; and an agitating member configured to agitate the developer around the developer carrier or the developer supplier, wherein a tip of the agitating member, upon a rotation of the agitating member, moves in a noncircular path. | 06-09-2011 |
20110188897 | Developing device and image forming apparatus - A developing device includes a developer bearing body provided so as to face a latent image bearing body. The developer bearing body rotates to supply a developer to the latent image bearing body. A developer supplying member is provided so as to contact the developer bearing body. The developer supplying member rotates to supply a developer to the developer bearing body. A developer recovery member is provided so as to contact a surface of the developer bearing body that moves from a position facing the latent image bearing body to a position in contact with the developer supplying member by a rotation of the developer bearing body. The developer recovery member rotates to recover the developer from the developer bearing body. The developer recovery member is constituted by a brush roller. | 08-04-2011 |
20120034002 | DEVELOPMENT DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMNG DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME - A development device includes: a developer carrier that is positioned to oppose an electrostatic latent image carrier and that supplies a developer to the electrostatic latent image carrier; a developer supply member that is positioned to oppose the developer carrier and that supplies the developer to the developer carrier; a developer charging member that is positioned to oppose the developer supply member and that charges the developer. | 02-09-2012 |
20120093541 | IMAGE FORMING UNIT AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A image forming unit includes an image forming unit including an image bearing body that bears a latent image, a developer bearing body that develops the latent image, a developer supplying portion that supplies the developer to the developer bearing body, an agitating portion provided in the vicinity of the developer supplying portion and including a plate member for agitating the developer in the vicinity of the developer supplying portion and a rotation shaft that holds the plate member, and a driving mechanism that causes the plate member of the agitating portion to reciprocatingly swing about the rotation shaft. | 04-19-2012 |
20120301187 | DEVELOPER CONTAINER AND PACKAGING SYSTEM - A developer container includes a developer containing member that contains developer; an opening part through which the developer is externally supplied, and a pressure absorbing mechanism that is provided on an external portion of the developer containing member. The pressure absorbing mechanism is configured to deform in an inward direction toward the developer container when an external force is applied to the developer container. | 11-29-2012 |
20130164041 | DEVELOPER STORAGE CONTAINER, IMAGE FORMING UNIT AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A developer storage container includes a storage portion for storing a developer therein, an opening for ejecting the developer stored in the storage portion, and an opening-and-closing member for opening and closing the opening. A concave portion is formed on the opening-and-closing member so that the concave portion faces the opening. | 06-27-2013 |
