DEVELOPER REPLENISHMENT DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18206144 Titled 'DEVELOPER REPLENISHMENT DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a developer cartridge that has a container, a pump, a feeding path, and a transporting member. The container holds the developer, while the pump controls the volume of the developer. The feeding path allows the developer to flow from the pump to a discharge outlet. The transporting member moves a holding member between two positions - one where it can be filled with developer from the container, and another where it connects with the feeding path. Overall, the cartridge is designed to transport and distribute developer efficiently.
Original Abstract Submitted
A developer cartridge includes accommodating container, a pump that is variable in volume, a feeding path member of which one end is connected to the pump and the other end is provided with a discharge outlet, the feeding path member being configured to form a path for feeding developer between the pump and the discharge outlet, and a transporting member configured to communicate the developer and the accommodating container and to transport the developer from the accommodating container to the feeding path member. The transporting member includes a moving mechanism configured to move a holding member between a first position where the holding member is capable of being filled with the developer from the accommodating container by accommodating the container and the holding member and a second position where the holding member and the feeding path member communicate with each other.
