<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a toner replenishing device for an image processing apparatus which can cause a plurality of toner bottles to simultaneously carry out tone feeding operation with a simple construction. <P>SOLUTION: Base ends of oscillation links 28 are fixed to shaft core sections of a plurality of the toner bottles 16. The front ends of the respective oscillation links 28 are relatively rotatably coupled to each other by two kinds of short and long coupling links 30 and 32. The front ends of eccentric links 36 swung by driving of a drive motor 34 are coupled to the shorter coupling links 32. Accordingly, when the drive motor 34 is driven, the coupling links 30 are reciprocally moved by means of the eccentric links 36 and the coupling links 32 and the plurality of the oscillation links 28 are all at once and simultaneously oscillated by prescribed strokes. As a result, the toner can be replenished by simultaneously rotationally moving all the toner bottles 16 with the simple construction. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
