  • the image forming apparatus refers to a device such as a copying machine, a printer, a facsimile machine or the like for forming an image using an electrophotographic or electrostatic recording device method.
  • An electrophotographic image forming apparatus such as a copying machine or a printer uses toner having a very small particle size as a developer. When the toner in the electrophotographic image forming apparatus is exhausted, it is common practice to supply the image forming apparatus with toner using a toner bottle detachably mounted on the image forming apparatus.

Abstract

L'invention porte sur une bouteille de toner comportant: un corps contenant le toner; un orifice de décharge du toner; un agitateur amenant le toner vers ledit orifice; un élément s'engageant dans le dispositif d'entraînement de l'appareil formateur d'image; et un couvercle annulaire ouvrant ou fermant l'orifice de sortie du toner. Ladite bouteille réduit les pertes de puissance de l'appareil formateur d'image et lui fournit le toner en temps voulu.
