CARTRIDGE AND ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240219866 titled 'CARTRIDGE AND ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation:

The patent application describes a cartridge with a developing roller that can rotate around an axis. The cartridge includes a coupling member that receives a driving force and is connected to the developing roller. Two urging members are in contact with the coupling member, with one urging it in one direction and the other urging it in the opposite direction simultaneously.

  • The cartridge includes a developing roller that can rotate about an axis.
  • A coupling member receives a driving force and is connected to the developing roller.
  • A first urging member pushes the coupling member in one direction.
  • A second urging member pushes the coupling member in the opposite direction.
  • Both urging members act on the coupling member simultaneously.

Potential Applications: This technology could be used in printers, copiers, and other imaging devices that require precise control over the developing roller.

Problems Solved: This technology ensures that the developing roller receives the necessary driving force and is properly aligned within the cartridge.

Benefits: - Improved performance and reliability of imaging devices - Enhanced quality of printed or copied materials - Simplified maintenance and replacement of cartridges

Commercial Applications: This technology could be valuable for manufacturers of printers, copiers, and other imaging devices looking to improve the functionality and efficiency of their products.

Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the coupling member receive the driving force in the cartridge? 2. What are the specific materials used in the construction of the urging members in this technology?


Original Abstract Submitted

a cartridge includes a developing roller rotatable about an axis l of the developing roller and a coupling member for receiving a driving force, with the coupling member being operatively connected to the developing roller. a first urging member is contactable to the coupling member, with the first urging member being configured to urge the coupling member in a first direction. a second urging member is contactable to the coupling member, with the second urging member being configured to urge the coupling member in a second direction that is opposite to the first direction. the first and second urging members are simultaneously contactable to the coupling member.
