CARTRIDGE, MEMBER CONSTITUTING CARTRIDGE, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18648736 titled 'CARTRIDGE, MEMBER CONSTITUTING CARTRIDGE, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
The abstract of the patent application describes a cartridge with a developing roller that is rotatable about its axis. A frame supports the roller, and a lever connected to the frame can move relative to it, with part of the lever protruding beyond the frame. The developing roller's surface extends further in the direction of the rotational axis than the lever does.
- The cartridge includes a developing roller that can rotate around its axis.
- A frame provides support for the developing roller.
- A lever connected to the frame can move relative to it, with part of the lever extending beyond the frame.
- The developing roller's surface extends a longer distance in the direction of the rotational axis compared to the lever.
Potential Applications: - This technology could be used in printers, copiers, and other imaging devices that require precise development of images. - It may find applications in the manufacturing of cartridges for various printing devices.
Problems Solved: - Provides a mechanism for efficient and accurate development of images in printing devices. - Allows for easy replacement and maintenance of the developing roller.
Benefits: - Improved image quality and consistency in printing devices. - Simplified maintenance and replacement procedures for cartridges.
Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Cartridge Technology for Enhanced Image Development This technology could be utilized by printer manufacturers to enhance the performance and reliability of their products, potentially leading to increased customer satisfaction and market competitiveness.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the design of the developing roller in this cartridge improve image quality? - The extended surface of the developing roller allows for more precise and consistent development of images, resulting in higher quality prints. 2. What advantages does the movable lever provide in this cartridge design? - The movable lever allows for easier maintenance and replacement of the developing roller, enhancing the overall usability of the cartridge.
Original Abstract Submitted
A cartridge includes a developing roller rotatable about a rotational axis thereof. A frame is configured to support the developing roller. A lever is connected to the frame, with the lever being movable relative to the frame, and a part of the lever protruding beyond the frame. A surface of the developing roller extends a longer distance in a direction of the rotational axis than a distance that the lever extends in the direction of the rotational axis.
