像装置に現像剤を補充するための現像剤補給容器
に関するものである。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a developer supply container for replenishing developer to a developing device of an electrostatic recording device such as an electrophotographic copying machine.
一般に静電記録装置にあつては、電荷保持体上
の静電潜像を現像装置によつて現像し、可視像と
したのち、これを記録紙上に転写定着することが
なされている。現像剤は現像と共に消費されるの
で、消費に応じてたえず現像剤を現像装置に補給
することが必要で、補給する現像剤の貯蔵部とし
て現像剤ホツパーがある。現像剤ホツパーには大
量の現像剤を内蔵させておいて、これが消費し尽
されるまえに、現像剤容器から現像剤の補給がな
されている。 Generally, in an electrostatic recording device, an electrostatic latent image on a charge carrier is developed by a developing device to form a visible image, which is then transferred and fixed onto a recording paper. Since the developer is consumed along with development, it is necessary to constantly replenish the developer to the developing device according to consumption, and a developer hopper is provided as a storage section for replenishing the developer. A large amount of developer is stored in the developer hopper, and the developer is replenished from the developer container before the developer is completely consumed.
一般に現像剤は十数μm径の微粒子で軽比重か
つサラサラした粉体状の樹脂なため極めて飛散し
やすい。 In general, developer is a resin powder that has fine particles with a diameter of more than 10 micrometers, has a light specific gravity, and is smooth, so it is extremely easy to scatter.
従来、上記の現像剤を現像剤ホツパーに補充す
る場合、例えば第１図に示すように、現像剤Ｔを
充填した袋状容器１又はボトル状容器の開口部を
前記現像ホツパー２の現像剤補給口に挿入するこ
とにより現像剤補充を行なつている。 Conventionally, when replenishing the developer hopper with the above-mentioned developer, for example, as shown in FIG. Developer is replenished by inserting it into the mouth.
しかしながら、前記袋状又はボルト状の現像剤

は流出落下と共に、大量の現像剤が噴煙状となつ
て飛散し、前記補給口付近から外部に放出し空中
に浮遊して、記録装置の内外に付着してその機能
外観を低下させるばかりでなく、室内空気その他
の環境を汚染したり、操作者の身体衣服を汚す等
の弊害を生ずる。又容器の吐出口より直接現像剤
補給口付近に現像剤が散乱し、これが他の器物に
付着する等の弊害もある。 However, when the opening of the bag-shaped or bolt-shaped developer container is inserted into the developer replenishment port to replenish the developer into the developer hopper, the developer flows out and falls, resulting in a large amount of developer. It scatters in the form of a plume and is released from the vicinity of the replenishment port, floating in the air, adhering to the inside and outside of the recording device, not only degrading its functionality and appearance, but also contaminating the indoor air and other environments. This may cause harmful effects such as staining the operator's body and clothing. Further, there is also the problem that the developer is scattered directly near the developer replenishment port from the discharge port of the container, and the developer may adhere to other utensils.
本考案は現像剤を現像剤ホツパー内へ補給する
場合に、現像剤が現像剤ホツパー外へ漏出飛散し
ないような現像剤補給容器を提供することを目的
としてなされたものである。 The object of the present invention is to provide a developer replenishment container that prevents the developer from leaking out of the developer hopper and scattering when replenishing the developer into the developer hopper.

目的を満たすものである。 That is, in a developer replenishment container consisting of a bag containing developer and an opening for discharging the developer of the bag, a flange is formed around the periphery of the opening for discharging the developer of the bag, and the bag A pleated inward folding portion is provided from the flanges on both side edges of the body to both side ends of the bag body to form an opening having a width smaller than the width of the bottom portion of the bag body. The boundary portions are fused or glued together to form a hermetic seal, the flange portion is bendable to the outside, and an engagement hole provided in the flange portion is provided at the opening of the developer reservoir. and fit into the pins that were
The developer replenishment container is characterized in that the replenishment container is opened and sealed by opening and closing the opening/closing lid, which satisfies the above object.

給用現像剤は密封状態に保持されている。 FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the appearance of the developer supply container according to the present invention. In the figure, a bag 10 containing developer is joined at a side surface overlapping portion a and an upper surface joint portion b to form a bag shape. Bag body 1
The two opposing sides of 0 are folding lines c, d, c',
d' to form two pleats on the inside of the bag body 10 where the wire can be freely drawn. Also, the folding line e,
e' is bent outward to form two auxiliary flanges 12A and 12B. Furthermore, it is bent outward along a folding line f to form two flat flanges 11A and 11B. The flange 11
A and 11B each have a plurality of engagement holes 13,
14, embossing or long grooves are provided at predetermined intervals. In this way, an opening is formed below the bag body 10, which can be opened and closed by moving the flanges 11A and 11B. By joining the vicinity of the folding line f at the bottom of the bag, which forms the opening, by thermal bonding, ultrasonic welding, high-frequency heating, adhesive bonding, etc., the replenishment developer contained in the bag 10 is kept in a sealed state.

等の特長があり、その効果は著しいものである。 As is clear from the above explanation, when replenishing developer using the developer container and developer replenishing device of the present invention, the movable lid is closed and the replenishment port inside the main body is sealed. When the developer container is attached and the movable lid is opened and closed, the flange of the developer container, which is integrally connected to the movable lid with a pin, opens and closes. Therefore, when replenishment starts, there is no leakage or scattering of developer to the outside. , there is no problem of developer leakage during replenishment and during processing operations after replenishment is completed, replenishment work can be carried out reliably with easy and quick operation, and both the replenishment device and container are simple in structure and inexpensive, etc. It has the following characteristics, and its effects are remarkable.
