20110044727 | DEVELOPER SUPPLYING CARTRIDGE, DEVELOPER RECEIVING CARTRIDGE, PROCESS CARTRIDGE, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A developer supply cartridge detachably mountable to a main assembly of an image forming apparatus, includes a developer accommodating portion of accommodating a developer; a discharging opening for discharging the developer accommodated in the developer accommodating portion to a developer receiving opening of a developer receiving cartridge provided with developing means for developing an electrostatic image formed on an image bearing member with the developer, the developer receiving cartridge being detachably mountable to the main assembly of the image forming apparatus; a shutter member movable between an opening position for opening the discharging opening and a closing position for closing the discharging opening; an engaging portion for engagement with the developer receiving cartridge so as to receive, from the developer receiving cartridge, a force for moving the shutter member from the closing position to the opening position, in interrelation with a relative movement between the developer supply cartridge and the developer receiving cartridge toward each other in a mounting-and-demounting direction of the developer supply cartridge relative to the main assembly of the image forming apparatus. | 02-24-2011 |
20120219329 | DEVELOPER SUPPLYING CARTRIDGE, DEVELOPER RECEIVING CARTRIDGE, PROCESS CARTRIDGE, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A developer supply cartridge is detachably mountable to a main assembly of an image forming apparatus. The developer supply cartridge includes a developer accommodating portion for accommodating a developer, and a discharging opening for discharging the developer to a developer receiving opening of a developer receiving cartridge provided with developing means for developing an electrostatic image formed on an image bearing member with the developer. A shutter member is provided movable between an opening position for opening the discharging opening and a closing position for closing the discharging opening. An engaging portion for engagement with the developer receiving cartridge receives a force for moving the shutter member from the closing position to the opening position in interrelation with a relative movement between the developer supply cartridge and the developer receiving cartridge toward each other in a mounting-and-demounting direction of the developer supply cartridge. | 08-30-2012 |
