DEVELOPER REPLENISHMENT CONTAINER AND DEVELOPER RECEIVING DEVICE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a developer replenishment container and a developer receiving device capable of efficiently transmitting driving.

SOLUTION: The developer replenishment container provided to be attached to/detached from the developer receiving device and set in the developer receiving device by setting operation at least accompanying turning in a setting direction has: a rotatable discharging member to discharge the developer in the developer replenishment container to the outside; and a gear train 5 and 6 transmitting driving force to the discharging member from a driving gear pivotally supported in the developer receiving device, and the gear train 5 and 6 has a gear 6 provided to be freely engaged with the driving gear and pivotally supported at a position eccentric from the center of turning of the container. It has a positioning projection 7 provided on a concentric circle with the center of turning of the developer replenishment container 1 in order to make the axle-to-axle distance of the driving gear and the gear 6 constant when the gear 6 is engaged with the driving gear by turning the developer replenishment container 1.
