DEVELOPER SUPPLY CONTAINER AND DEVELOPER SUPPLYING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18093857 titled 'DEVELOPER SUPPLY CONTAINER AND DEVELOPER SUPPLYING SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a developer supply container that can be attached to a developer receiving apparatus. The container has an engaging portion and a discharging portion with a shutter opening for releasing the developer. The engaging portion is located on one side of the container and engages with a portion-to-be-engaged on the receiving apparatus to align the receiving port with the shutter opening.
- The developer supply container is detachable and can be easily mounted onto a developer receiving apparatus.
- The container has an engaging portion that aligns the receiving port of the apparatus with the shutter opening of the container.
- The container has a discharging portion with a shutter opening for discharging the developer.
- The engaging portion is located on one side of the container, in a direction crossing with the mounting direction of the container.
- The engaging portion engages with a portion-to-be-engaged on the receiving apparatus during the mounting operation.
Potential Applications
- This technology can be used in printing devices that require a continuous supply of developer.
- It can be applied in photocopiers, laser printers, and other similar devices that use developer for image formation.
Problems Solved
- The developer supply container provides a simplified and efficient way to supply developer to a receiving apparatus.
- It ensures proper alignment between the receiving port and the shutter opening, preventing any misalignment or leakage.
Benefits
- Easy and quick attachment of the developer supply container to the receiving apparatus.
- Proper alignment between the receiving port and the shutter opening ensures smooth and accurate discharge of the developer.
- Prevents any potential leakage or misalignment issues, improving the overall performance and reliability of the system.
