is mounted so that it can rotate in only one direction. Rotation N1
1 is held on the side wall of the case body 10 on both sides, and when the lock lever 12 is rotated in the direction of the arrow (clockwise), the rotation i11 rotates accordingly, and the bottom opening 1a of the case body 1 opens. The structure is such that when opened, toner is supplied to the printer device. Since the constant rotation M11 is biased in the opposite direction (counterclockwise) by the spring 13 stretched between the two hooks 14°14, the bottom opening 1a of the case body 1 rotates N1 when the toner cartridge 9 is alone.
1 is closed.
