Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate the fouling of the hands and clothes of an operator by taking up a film sheet which becomes dirty with sticking toner into a film seal storage part provided on the side of the toner replenishing cartridge by utilizing the restoring force of a spiral spring. CONSTITUTION:Toner 2 is charged in the toner replenishing cartridge 3, which is sealed with the film seal 4; and this cartridge is loaded in a device development part 1 and the film seal 4 which seals the cartridge is drawn out as shown by an arrow. Consequently, the toner 2 charged in the toner replenishing cartridge 3 can be put in the device development part 1. Further, when the film seal 4 is drawn out, the spiral spring 5 for the toner replenishing cartridge 3 which is associated with the film seal 4 is compressed. The dirty film seal 4 is stored in the toner replenishing cartridge 3 with the restoring force of the spiral spring 5 after the toner 2 is replenished to the device development part 1. Consequently, the hands and clothes of the operator are prevented from becoming dirty.

Description

【発明の詳細な説明】 〔産業上の利用分野〕 本発明は、トナーを使用するプリンターや複写機のトナ
ー補給用カートリッジの構造に関する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to the structure of a toner replenishing cartridge for printers and copying machines that use toner.

〔従来の技術〕[Conventional technology]

従来、この種のトナー補給用カートリッジは、トナーを
カートリッジに充填し、その補給口をフィルムシール等
で密閉し、前記フィルムシールを引き抜くことによって
トナーを装置の現像部へ補給するようになっていた。Conventionally, in this type of toner replenishment cartridge, the toner was filled into the cartridge, the replenishment opening was sealed with a film seal, etc., and the toner was replenished into the developing section of the device by pulling out the film seal. .

〔発明が解決しようとする課題〕[Problem to be solved by the invention]

従って、上述した従来のトナー補給用カートリッジは、
引き抜いたあとのシールにトナーが付着し、トナーが付
着しているシールが操作員の手や服を汚してしまったり
、シールに付着しているトナーの粉煙が上がり装置や床
を汚してしまうという欠点があった。Therefore, the conventional toner replenishment cartridge described above is
Toner adheres to the seals after they are pulled out, and the toner-adhered seals stain the operator's hands and clothes, and the toner particles that adhere to the seals emit smoke, staining the equipment and floor. There was a drawback.

〔課題を解決するための手段〕[Means to solve the problem]

巻きバネ５が圧縮される。Referring to FIG. 2, the toner replenishment cartridge 3 is filled with toner 2 and sealed with a film seal 4. The toner replenishment cartridge 3 is mounted in the developing section 1 of the apparatus, and the sealed film seal 4 is moved in the direction of the arrow. By pulling it out, the toner 2 filled in the toner replenishing cartridge 3 can be put into the developing section 1 of the apparatus. Further, when the sealed film seal 4 is pulled out, the thinly wound spring 5 of the toner replenishment cartridge 3 which is interlocked with the film seal 4 is compressed.

果がある。As explained above, in the present invention, when replenishing toner to an apparatus, a toner replenishment cartridge is installed in the apparatus, a film seal sealing the toner replenishment cartridge is pulled out, and a film that is continuous with the film seal is removed. The filled toner enters the developing section of the device through the opening of the device, and at the same time, the thinly wound spring provided in the film storage section is compressed. The restoring force of the winding spring has the effect of automatically winding up the film sticker contaminated with toner into the film storage section on the toner supply cartridge side.
