DEVELOPER SUPPLYING CONTAINER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240248422 titled 'DEVELOPER SUPPLYING CONTAINER
The patent application describes a developer supply container with a rotary cylindrical accommodating portion and a developer discharging portion.
- The accommodating portion has an opening at one end in the rotation-axis direction.
- The discharging portion includes a connection portion and a discharging outlet.
- The connection portion has a first separation portion and a second separation portion that are separated from each other in a direction intersecting with the rotation-axis direction.
- The accommodating portion has a first engaging portion on the outer circumferential surface of the one end portion covered by the connection portion.
- At least one of the separation portions includes a second engaging portion that prevents the disconnection of the connection portion from the accommodating portion in the rotation-axis direction.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in printers, photocopiers, and other imaging devices that require precise developer supply mechanisms. - It can also be applied in industrial settings where controlled developer discharge is necessary.
Problems Solved: - Ensures secure connection between the developer supply container and the discharging portion. - Prevents accidental disconnection during operation, reducing the risk of spills and contamination.
Benefits: - Improved reliability and stability in developer supply systems. - Enhanced safety by preventing leaks and spills. - Simplified maintenance and operation of imaging devices.
Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Developer Supply Container for Imaging Devices" This technology can be marketed to manufacturers of printers, photocopiers, and industrial imaging equipment. It offers a competitive advantage by providing a secure and reliable developer supply solution.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the design of the connection portion prevent accidental disconnection? - The second engaging portion on the separation portions ensures a secure connection with the first engaging portion on the accommodating portion. 2. What are the potential cost savings associated with using this developer supply container? - The reduced risk of spills and leaks can lead to lower maintenance costs and increased operational efficiency.
Original Abstract Submitted
a developer supplying container includes a rotary cylindrical accommodating portion including an opening portion formed at one end portion of the accommodating portion in a rotation-axis direction, and a developer discharging portion including a connection portion and a discharging outlet. the connection portion includes a first separation portion and a second separation portion separated from each other in a direction intersecting with the rotation-axis direction. the accommodating portion includes a first engaging portion formed in an outer circumferential surface of the one end portion covered by the connection portion. at least one of the first separation portion and the second separation portion includes a second engaging portion configured to engage with the first engaging portion when the one end portion of the accommodating portion is covered by the connection portion, and prevent the connection portion from being disconnected from the accommodating portion in the rotation-axis direction.
