3a. As the material of the support member 13,
As will be described later, when the magnetic member 15 is fixed to the inside and magnetized, the vibrating member 14 is attracted to return and the sameness is blunted. Therefore, a non-magnetic metal or resin that is not magnetized is suitable.

有効である。The vibrating member 14 has an L-shape, the acting point 14a side is R-shaped, and the attracted side 14b is flat. Further, a convex portion 14c is formed at the end portion on the side of the point of action 14a, and the convex portion 14c is fitted into the hole 13a of the support member 13 and is rotatable about this. A magnetic metal or the like is suitable as the material of the vibrating member 14, but if it has elasticity, it is effective to generate a louder sound.

In addition, the fixing to the supporting member 13 is fixed by adhesion or the like so that the attracted and held vibrating member 14 is not brought when being separated. Further, the holding force (magnetic force) of the magnetic member 15 also causes the sound to increase or decrease, so it is necessary to select an appropriate one.

ともできる。The impact sound producing member 16 produces an impact sound when the attracted side 14b of the vibrating member 14 collides with it. Since the member 16 changes the sound quality and the loudness of the sound, the material is appropriately selected. Need to choose. In the illustrated example, the impact sound generating member 16 is provided separately from the holding member 2, but the holding member 2 may be formed in a rectangular tube shape and integrated with it.

状態に戻る。Next, the operation procedure of this embodiment will be described. Basically, the toner cartridge 10 is slid with respect to the supporting means 11 and inserted, and the lever 12 is operated. However, if the toner cartridge 10 is not inserted to the proper position, the lever 12 cannot be operated properly. It is like this. For this reason, by providing the above-described set sound generating device and inserting the toner cartridge 10 into the supporting means 11 until a sound is generated and then operating the lever 12, it is possible to perform a reliable operation. The vibrating member 14 is attracted to the magnetic member 15 and returns to its original state.

態に戻る。Specifically, when the toner cartridge 10 is slid with respect to the supporting means 11 and inserted, the end portion of the toner cartridge 10 projects from the opening 16a of the impact sound generating member 16 and the vibrating member 14 is inserted. Point of action 14a
Side contacting tip, and the action point 14a side of the vibrating member 14 is pushed inward. Then, the vibrating member 14 rotates around the fitting position of the convex portion 14c and the hole 13a of the support member 13, and the external force applied by the rotation causes the attracting force of the magnetic member 15 attracting the attracted side 14b. When it exceeds, the attracted side 14b
Moves vigorously away from the magnetic member 15 and collides with the impact sound generating member 16 to generate a sound. On the other hand, when the toner cartridge 10 is pulled out from the supporting means 11, no external force is applied to the action point 14a side of the vibrating member 14, and the attracted side 14b is again attracted and held by the magnetic member 15 to return to the original state.

示のように長さＢに対してＡをかなり長くしている。As shown in FIG. 2, the length A from the fitting position of the convex portion 14c, which is the rotation fulcrum, to the hole 13a to the holding position of the attracted side 14b by the magnetic member 15 is the same. In order to generate, the holding force (magnetic force) of the magnetic member 15 should be weak if the length is as long as possible. Further, when the length B from the rotation fulcrum to the side of the point of action 14a, which is the point of action of force, approaches the length of A, the amount of movement of the member that gives the external force increases,
There is a possibility that variations may occur in the position where the sound is generated, and the operator cannot be notified of the correct setting position. Further, in the illustrated embodiment, when the external force acts, the vibrating member 14 is rotated by rotation.
Since the point of action of moves to the right in the figure, if B is lengthened, the amount of movement of the point of action to the right also increases and smooth movement is impeded. Therefore, it is preferable that B is as short as possible. In addition, the length A is considerably longer than the length B.

とができるようになるという効果がある。As described above, in the set sound generating device according to the first aspect of the present invention, one end of the vibrating member is rotatably attached to one side of the supporting member to be attached to the supported body, and the other vibrating member is attached. A magnetic member that fixes the end side to the other side of the support member can be magnetically attracted and held, and is equipped with a member that generates a sound by receiving an impact force from the collision of the other end of the vibrating member. When the other end side is separated from the magnetic member and collides with the sound generating member, the sound is generated by the impact force.
When the external force disappears, the other side of the vibrating member returns to the original state where the sound can be generated again due to the magnetic force, so there is no need to perform extra operations such as pushing it again or pulling up the lever before removing it. Thus, the set sound can be reliably and repeatedly generated, and the operator can be prompted to perform a reliable operation.

いう効果がある。As described above, in the set sound generating device according to the second aspect of the invention, the vibrating member is rotated more than the length from the pivotal fulcrum to the support member to the action point on one end side to which an external force is applied. Since the length from the fulcrum to the holding position on the other end side where magnetic attraction is held is increased, if the same level of sound is generated, the attraction and holding force of the magnetic member can be weak, and a more accurate setting position can be set. There is an effect that it is possible to inform the operator.
