点があった。In the conventional toner cartridge, when the sealing member is peeled off in order to replenish toner into the developing device, toner adheres to the sealing member. This adhered toner scatters outside the developing device, reducing the reliability and life of the electrophotographic device. Another disadvantage is that it causes environmental pollution and dirty hands.
本発明は、上記問題点及び欠点を除去するもので、シー

形成されている回転体を存することを特徴とする。When the toner cartridge of the present invention is peeled off from the container, the toner cartridge rotates in contact with the toner replacement surface of the sealing member, and the rotating body having carbon fibers, metal fibers, adhesive members, etc. formed on the surface of the toner cartridge rotates. It is characterized by the fact that it exists.
以下、ｗｉ図と共に本発明の具体的実施例について説明
する。Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to wi diagrams.

にする。FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a toner cartridge of the present invention. Toner capacity B, which is a plastic molded product such as ABS resin
Put the toner 12 into 11, and attach the flange A and B of the toner container to the sealing member! 3 is adhered and sealed using heat welding or adhesive. Flip the sealing member 360 @ at the adhesive part of part A, and then
and the rotating body 14 so that it can be pulled out in the direction of the arrow.

より、シール部材から除去することができる。By pulling out the sealing member in the direction of the arrow, the sealing member is peeled off from the toner container from part A to part B, and the toner in the toner container falls into the developing device 17 and is replenished. The toner replenished into the developing device is transferred to Magroller 1.
At step 8, the image is transported to the developing section. When the adhering toner 16 replaced with the sealing member passes between the end B of the toner container and the rotating body, if the surface of the rotating body is made of carbon fiber or metal fiber, it is removed by aS scraping force or By causing the toner to lose its electrostatic adhesion, the toner falls into the developing device as removed toner 15. Further, when the surface of the rotating body is an adhesive member, the adhered toner is transferred from the seal member to the adhesive member. Therefore, the toner attached to the seal member can be removed from the seal member by dropping it into the developing device or by transferring it to the adhesive member.

、接地することが望ましい。The rotating body rotates clockwise by pulling out the seal member in the direction of the arrow. Furthermore, the shaft of the 0-rotator, which applies a constant pressure by applying a spring to the rotor and part B of the toner container, is made of aluminum or a plastic molded product, but when carbon fiber or metal fiber is formed on the surface. It is desirable to use aluminum material and ground it.
