DEVELOPING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240103401 titled 'DEVELOPING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a developing device that includes a storage portion, a sealing member, a loosening member, and a closing member. The device is designed to store and dispense developer efficiently.
- Storage portion with developer and exit:
- Stores developer - Has an exit for developer
- Sealing member:
- Seals the exit of the storage portion
- Loosening member:
- Loosens developer by being pulled out of the storage portion
- Closing member:
- Cleans and closes the hole portion after the loosening member is pulled out
Potential Applications
The developing device can be used in various printing and imaging systems where efficient developer dispensing is required.
Problems Solved
1. Ensures proper dispensing of developer without contamination. 2. Prevents developer from clumping or clogging the exit.
Benefits
1. Improved developer dispensing efficiency. 2. Reduced maintenance and cleaning efforts. 3. Enhanced print quality and consistency.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Efficient Developer Dispensing Device for Printing Systems"
Possible Prior Art

Original Abstract Submitted
a developing device includes: a storage portion that stores a developer and has an exit for the developer and a hole portion, the hole portion including a limiting portion; a sealing member with which the exit of the storage portion is sealed; a loosening member that is disposed in the storage portion so as to be pulled out through the hole portion of the storage portion and loosens the developer by being pulled out of the storage portion; and a closing member that is disposed in the hole portion of the storage portion, cleans the loosening member that is pulled out of the hole portion by being in contact with the loosening member, and closes the hole portion of which the loosening member has been pulled out, the closing member including a caught portion. the limiting portion of the hole portion of the storage portion limits a movement of the closing member in a pull-out direction of the loosening member by catching the caught portion.
