DEVELOPING CARTRIDGE INCLUDING FIRST FRAME SUPPORTING DEVELOPING ROLLER AND HAVING LOAD RECEIVING SURFACE, AND SECOND FRAME FIXED TO FIRST FRAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18489079 titled 'DEVELOPING CARTRIDGE INCLUDING FIRST FRAME SUPPORTING DEVELOPING ROLLER AND HAVING LOAD RECEIVING SURFACE, AND SECOND FRAME FIXED TO FIRST FRAME

Simplified Explanation

The developing cartridge attachable to a drum cartridge includes a developing roller, a casing with a first frame supporting the developing roller and a second frame fixed to the first frame, and a separation member movable in a first direction relative to the casing. The separation member includes a separation shaft and a first inclined surface positioned at one end portion in the first direction of the separation member. The first frame has a load receiving surface facing the separation shaft in a second direction crossing the first direction. The load receiving surface makes contact with the separation shaft to receive a load directed in the second direction from the separation shaft when the separation member moves in the first direction and the first inclined surface makes contact with the drum cartridge in a state where the developing cartridge is attached to the drum cartridge.

  • Developing cartridge attachable to a drum cartridge

Original Abstract Submitted

A developing cartridge attachable to a drum cartridge includes: a developing roller; a casing including a first frame supporting the developing roller and a second frame fixed to the first frame; and a separation member movable in a first direction relative to the casing. The separation member includes: a separation shaft; and a first inclined surface positioned at one end portion in the first direction of the separation member. The first frame has a load receiving surface facing the separation shaft in a second direction crossing the first direction. The load receiving surface makes contact with the separation shaft to receive a load directed in the second direction from the separation shaft when the separation member moves in the first direction and the first inclined surface makes contact with the drum cartridge in a state where the developing cartridge is attached to the drum cartridge.
