DEVELOPER-CONTAINING VESSEL AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

摘要

Provided is a developer-containing vessel including a fixing section that includes a discharge portion through which developer is discharged, a rotation section that includes a container in which the developer is contained and a dispersion member which is supported to be integrally rotatable along with the container and disperses the developer during rotation, and that is supported to be rotatable with respect to the fixing section, and a transport portion that is formed in the container, is inclined with respect to a rotational axis direction of the rotation section, and transports the developer during the rotation of the rotation section.

主权项

1. A developer-containing vessel comprising:
a fixing section that includes a discharge portion through which developer is discharged; a rotation section that includes a container in which the developer is contained and a dispersion member which is supported to be integrally rotatable along with the container and disperses the developer during rotation, and that is supported to be rotatable with respect to the fixing section; and a transport portion that is formed in the container, is inclined with respect to a rotational axis direction of the rotation section, and transports the developer during the rotation of the rotation section, wherein the dispersion member includes a first dispersion portion that extends from a rotational center in a radial direction and a second dispersion portion that extends from an outer end of the first dispersion portion in an axial direction, and extends to a position corresponding to the discharge portion, wherein the second dispersion portion has an inclined surface which is inclined with respect to the rotational center of the rotation section, and wherein a perpendicular surface with respect to the rotation direction is provided on an inner side of the second dispersion portion in the radial direction.
