CARTRIDGE, TONER CARTRIDGE, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18208405 titled 'CARTRIDGE, TONER CARTRIDGE, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a cartridge for a printer or copier that includes a photosensitive drum, a memory, and a frame. The frame supports the photosensitive drum and includes a container for accommodating a developer collected from the drum.

  • The cartridge includes a photosensitive drum that rotates about an axis.
  • The cartridge also includes a memory with a storing element and a memory contact.
  • The memory contact is electrically connected to the storing element and is provided on a substrate.
  • The frame supports the photosensitive drum and includes a container with an accommodating chamber for the collected developer.
  • The frame also includes a mounting member that covers the opening of the container and supports the substrate.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • This cartridge can be used in printers and copiers to store and retrieve information related to the printing process.
  • The memory can store data such as printer settings, usage history, and maintenance information.
  • The cartridge can be easily replaced, allowing for efficient maintenance and troubleshooting.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • The cartridge provides a convenient and compact solution for storing and accessing information related to the printing process.
  • The memory contact and substrate allow for easy electrical connection and data transfer.
  • The container and accommodating chamber effectively collect and store the developer, preventing contamination and ensuring proper functioning of the printer or copier.

Benefits of this technology:

  • The cartridge simplifies the printing process by storing and retrieving important information.
  • The memory allows for customization and optimization of printer settings.
  • The container and accommodating chamber ensure proper disposal and containment of the developer, reducing the risk of contamination and damage to the printer or copier.


Original Abstract Submitted

A cartridge includes a photosensitive drum rotatable about an axis extending in an axial direction; a memory including a storing element configured to store information, a memory contact electrically connected to the storing element, and a substrate having a surface on which the memory contact is provided; and a frame which supports the photosensitive drum, on which the substrate is mounted, and which includes a first end with respect to the axial direction and a second end opposite from the first end. The frame includes a container provided with an accommodating chamber for accommodating a developer collected from the photosensitive drum and with an opening communicating with the accommodating chamber and includes a mounting member mounted on the container so as to cover the opening. The mounting member includes a supporting portion for supporting the substrate.
