DEVELOPING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18212279 titled 'DEVELOPING DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a developing device that is used in a developing container for a developer. The device includes a conveyance member that moves the developer towards a communication port using a flexible sheet. The sheet is fixed to a rotation shaft and rotates in the accommodation chamber of the container. There is also a light transmitting member positioned above the communication port and an abutting portion that maintains the sheet in a bent state until it reaches the light transmitting member.

  • The developing device is used in a developing container for a developer.
  • A conveyance member, consisting of a rotation shaft and a flexible sheet, moves the developer towards a communication port.
  • The sheet is fixed to the rotation shaft and rotates in the accommodation chamber of the container.
  • A light transmitting member is positioned above the communication port.
  • An abutting portion maintains the sheet in a bent state until it reaches the light transmitting member.

Potential Applications

  • This developing device can be used in various types of printers and copiers that require a developer to be conveyed.
  • It can also be used in other devices that involve the development of images or text.

Problems Solved

  • The device solves the problem of efficiently conveying the developer towards the communication port.
  • It ensures that the sheet remains in a bent state until it reaches the light transmitting member, allowing for accurate development.

Benefits

  • The device simplifies the process of developing by using a conveyance member and a flexible sheet.
  • It improves the efficiency and accuracy of the developing process.
  • The device can be easily integrated into existing developing containers or systems.


Original Abstract Submitted

A developing device includes a developing container having an accommodation chamber for a developer and a developing chamber communicating with the accommodation chamber through a communication port, a conveyance member configured to convey the developer toward the communication port by a sheet, the conveyance member including a rotation shaft and the sheet which is flexible and has a first end fixed to the rotation shaft so as to rotate in the accommodation chamber, a light transmitting member provided in the developing container and positioned above the communication port, and an abutting portion configured to abut on a second end of the sheet such that the sheet is maintained in a bent state until the second end passes in front of the communication port from its upstream end in a rotation direction of the conveyance member and then reaches the light transmitting member.
