DEVELOPER CONTAINER AND MANUFACTURING METHOD FOR DEVELOPER CONTAINER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18731432 titled 'DEVELOPER CONTAINER AND MANUFACTURING METHOD FOR DEVELOPER CONTAINER
Simplified Explanation:
This patent application describes a developer container with a connector and discharge path forming member to release developer from the container. The connector member and discharge path forming member engage in a way that restricts movement in a specific direction.
- The developer container includes a connector member and a discharge path forming member.
- The connector member has an inserted portion and an engaged portion.
- The discharge path forming member has an insertion portion and an engaging portion.
- When the connector member and discharge path forming member rotate relative to each other, the engaged portion and engaging portion engage to restrict movement in a specific direction.
- This mechanism ensures controlled discharge of developer from the container.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Controlled discharge mechanism for developer container.
- Connector and discharge path forming members engage to restrict movement.
- Rotational movement ensures proper engagement for controlled discharge.
Potential Applications:
- Printers and copiers.
- Manufacturing processes requiring precise developer discharge.
Problems Solved:
- Uncontrolled discharge of developer.
- Inefficient developer handling.
Benefits:
- Precise and controlled developer discharge.
- Improved efficiency in developer handling processes.
Commercial Applications:
- Printer and copier manufacturing industry.
- Manufacturing processes requiring precise developer handling.
Prior Art:
Prior art related to controlled discharge mechanisms in developer containers can be found in patents related to printer and copier technologies, as well as patents related to manufacturing processes involving developer handling.
Frequently Updated Research:
Research related to improved developer handling mechanisms in various industries may provide insights into advancements in controlled discharge technologies.
Questions about Developer Container Technology:
1. What are the potential industrial applications of this controlled discharge mechanism? 2. How does this technology improve efficiency in developer handling processes?
Original Abstract Submitted
A developer container includes a container member, a connector member attached to the container member, and a discharge path forming member connected to the container member and to discharge a developer from the container member. The connector member includes an inserted portion, and an engaged portion. The discharge path forming member includes an insertion portion inserted into the inserted portion, and an engaging portion provided correspondingly to the engaged portion. The engaged portion and engaging portion come to a state of mutual engagement by a relative rotation between the connector member and the discharge path forming member about a predetermined rotation axis, in a state where the insertion portion is inserted into the inserted portion. In the engaged state, the engaged portion and engaging portion restrict a relative movement of the connector member and the discharge path forming member in the direction of the rotation axis.
