"Kartusche für Kopiergeräte und Laserdrucker" "Cartridge for copiers and laser printers"
Die Erfindung betrifft eine in Kopiergeräte oder Laserdrucker einführbare Kartusche mit einer mit einem organischen
Fotoleiter Überzogenen Fotoleitertrommel, einer Lade- und Entwicklerstation, einem Neutonerbehälter
und einem Resittoperbehälter.The invention relates to a cartridge which can be inserted into copiers or laser printers and which has a photoconductor drum coated with an organic photoconductor, a charging and developing station, a new toner container
and a Resittoper container.
Kartuschen der vorstehenden Art werden im Zusammenhang mit vergleichsweise kleinen Kopiergeräten und Laserdruckern
verwendet. Ihre Fotoleiter sind mit einem organischen Fotoleiter überzogen, dessen Brauch- bzw. Haltbarkeit
nach Darstellung der Hersteller der Kartuschen bzw. der mit den Kartuschen beschickbaren Kopiergeräte
auf den Inhalt des nicht nachfüllbaren Neutonerbehälters abgestimmt ist, an dessen Volumen wiederum das Volumen
des Resttonerbehälters angepaßt ist. Die bekannten Kartuschen sind mit anderen Worten als Wegwerfkartuschen
ausgebildet und belasten als solches in einem aus ökologischer Sicht unerwünschten Maße die Umwelt.Cartridges of the above type are used in connection with relatively small copiers and laser printers. Their photoconductors are coated with an organic photoconductor, the service life of which, according to the manufacturers of the cartridges or the copiers that can be loaded with the cartridges, is matched to the content of the non-refillable new toner container, to whose volume the volume of the waste toner container is in turn matched. In other words, the known cartridges are disposable cartridges.
and as such place a burden on the environment to an extent that is undesirable from an ecological point of view.
Untersuchungen der Anmelderin haben ergeben, daß die
Haltbarkeit der organischen Fotoleiter überraschenderweise erheblich größer ist als von den Kartuschenherstellern
ersichtlich allgemein angenommen wird. Unter
Ausnutzung der gewonnenen Erkenntnis liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, Kartuschen der in Betracht gezogenen
Gattung so auszubilden, daß sie ein der tatsächliehen Haltbarkeit der organischen Fotoleiter RechnungInvestigations by the applicant have shown that the
The durability of the organic photoconductors is surprisingly much longer than is generally assumed by the cartridge manufacturers.
Utilizing the knowledge gained, the invention is based on the task of designing cartridges of the type in question in such a way that they take into account the actual durability of the organic photoconductors.

tragendes, mehrmaliges Nachfüllen des Neütonerbehälters gestatten. Die'se Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadur.h gelöst, daß der Neutonerbehälter mit einer von der Außenseite der Kartusche zugänglichen, durch einen Deckel abdeckbaren Nachfüllöffnung und der Resttonerbehälter mit verschließbaren Entleerungsöffnungen versehen sind.This object is achieved according to the invention in that the new toner container is provided with a refill opening accessible from the outside of the cartridge and can be covered by a lid, and the waste toner container is provided with closable emptying openings.
Die erfindungsgemäße Kartusche bietet den Vorteil, daß sie einerseits eine deutliche Senkung der Kopierkosten ermöglicht und andererseits eine spürbare Entlastung der Umwelt mit sich bringt. Bekannte Kartuschen lassen sich mit außerordentlich einfachen Mitteln, wie sie insbesondere in den Unteransprüchen beschrieben sind, umrüsten und einer Mehrfachbenutzung zuführen.The cartridge according to the invention offers the advantage that it enables a significant reduction in copying costs on the one hand and, on the other hand, brings a noticeable reduction in the burden on the environment. Known cartridges can be converted and used multiple times using extremely simple means, as described in particular in the subclaims.
Die Erfindung wird im folgenden anhand eines in der beigefügten Zeichnung schematisch dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert.The invention is explained in more detail below using an embodiment shown schematically in the accompanying drawing.
In der Zeichnung ist 1 das Gehäuse einer Kartusche für ein Kopiergerät oder einen Laserdrucker, in dem neben einem Neutonerbehälter und einem Resttonerbehälter zusätzlich mindestens eine mit einem organischen Fotoleiter überzogene Fotoleitertrommel, eine Ladestation und eine Entwicklerstation untergebracht sind. Der Neutonerbehälter 2 ist an seiner Oberseite mit einer Nachfüllöffnung 3 versehen, die'durch einen Deckel 4 mit einer Handhabungslasche 5 verschließbar ist. Der Deckel 4 besteht vorzugsweise aus Pappe und ist an der Kartusche mit Hilfe eines ein Scharnier bildenden Klebestreifens 6 verbunden. Doppelseitig mit einer Klebstoffschicht versehene Klebestreifenabschnitte 7 dienen zur Verriegelung des Deckels 4 in der Schließstellung,In the drawing, 1 is the housing of a cartridge for a copier or a laser printer, in which, in addition to a new toner container and a waste toner container, at least one photoconductor drum covered with an organic photoconductor, a charging station and a developer station are also housed. The new toner container 2 is provided with a refill opening 3 on its top, which can be closed by a cover 4 with a handling tab 5. The cover 4 is preferably made of cardboard and is connected to the cartridge by means of an adhesive strip 6 forming a hinge. Adhesive strip sections 7 provided with an adhesive layer on both sides serve to lock the cover 4 in the closed position.

in der der Deckel gegen einen planen Teil 8 im Bereich der Decke bzw. Oberseite des Neutonerbehälters 2 anliegt. in which the lid rests against a flat part 8 in the area of the ceiling or top of the new toner container 2.
Die Größe der Nachfüllöffnung kann den ,jeweiligen Gegebenheiten entsprechend gewählt werden. The size of the refill opening can be selected according to the respective circumstances.
Um unerwünscht große Abmessungen des Resttonerbehälters 9 der Kartusche zu vermeiden, ist der Resttonerbehälter mit Entieerungsöffnungen 1Ö versehen, die im dargestellten Fall von einer Lochreihe gebildet v/erden, die durch einen abziehbaren Klebestreifen 11 verschließbar ist.In order to avoid undesirably large dimensions of the waste toner container 9 of the cartridge, the waste toner container is provided with emptying openings 1Ö, which in the case shown are formed by a row of holes that can be closed with a removable adhesive strip 11.
