PROCESS CARTRIDGE INCLUDING FRAME HAVING PHOTOSENSITIVE DRUM, DRUM COUPLING AND FLANGED FIXED TO PHOTOSENSITIVE DRUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18597420 titled 'PROCESS CARTRIDGE INCLUDING FRAME HAVING PHOTOSENSITIVE DRUM, DRUM COUPLING AND FLANGED FIXED TO PHOTOSENSITIVE DRUM

The image forming apparatus described in the patent application consists of a drum cartridge with a photosensitive drum and a drum drive input member, a developing cartridge that can be mounted to the drum cartridge, a drum drive transmission member, and a developing drive transmission member.

  • The drum cartridge houses a photosensitive drum and a drum drive input member.
  • The developing cartridge is movable and includes a developing roller facing the photosensitive drum and a developing drive input member.
  • The drum drive transmission member transmits driving force to the drum drive input member while allowing for a positional gap within a set range.
  • The developing drive transmission member transmits driving force to the developing drive input member while also permitting a positional gap within a predetermined range.

Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in various types of printers and copiers. - It can improve the quality and efficiency of image formation processes in office environments. - The apparatus could be integrated into industrial printing systems for large-scale production.

Problems Solved: - Ensures precise and consistent image formation by controlling the positioning of key components. - Reduces the risk of mechanical failures and malfunctions due to the allowance for positional gaps. - Enhances the overall performance and reliability of image forming devices.

Benefits: - Improved image quality and consistency. - Increased reliability and durability of image forming equipment. - Enhanced efficiency in printing and copying operations.

Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Image Forming Apparatus for Enhanced Printing Quality This technology can be utilized in commercial printers, photocopiers, and industrial printing systems to optimize image formation processes, ensuring high-quality output and reliable performance. The enhanced precision and control offered by this apparatus can lead to increased productivity and cost savings for businesses in the printing industry.

Questions about Image Forming Apparatus: 1. How does the drum drive transmission member contribute to the overall functionality of the apparatus? The drum drive transmission member is responsible for transmitting driving force to the drum drive input member while allowing for a positional gap within a predetermined range. This ensures that the drum cartridge operates smoothly and efficiently, contributing to the precise image formation process.

2. What are the potential implications of the developing drive transmission member in improving image quality? The developing drive transmission member plays a crucial role in transmitting developing driving force to the developing drive input member while permitting a positional gap within a predetermined range. This feature helps maintain consistent and high-quality image output by ensuring the proper development of images on the photosensitive drum.


Original Abstract Submitted

The image forming apparatus includes a drum cartridge having a photosensitive drum and a drum drive input member; a developing cartridge configured to be movably mounted to the drum cartridge, the developing cartridge comprising a developing roller disposed so as to face the photosensitive drum and a developing drive input member; a drum drive transmission member configured to engage with the drum drive input member and configured to transmit drum driving force to the drum drive input member while permitting a positional gap of the drum drive input member within a predetermined range; and a developing drive transmission member configured to engage with the developing drive input member and configured to transmit developing driving force to the developing drive input member while permitting a positional gap of the developing drive input member within a predetermined range.
