Developer Cartridge

摘要

In a developer cartridge, a base portion may be fixed to a surface of one side of a frame, and extend from one end thereof to another end thereof in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. A first portion may extend from one end thereof to another end thereof in the first direction. The one end of the first portion is connected to the other end of the base portion. A second portion may extend from one end thereof to another end thereof in a direction opposite to the second direction. The one end of the second portion is connected to the other end of the first portion. An electrode for the cartridge is deformable such that a distance between the base portion and the second portion can be decreased.

1. A developer cartridge comprising:
a frame having one side in a first direction; a developing roller rotatably supported by the frame and extending in the first direction; and a deformable electrode supported by the one side of the frame and electrically connected to the developing roller, the electrode including:
a base portion fixed to an outer surface of the one side of the frame, and extending from one end thereof to another end thereof in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction;a first extending portion extending from one end thereof to another end thereof in the first direction, the one end of the first extending portion being connected to the other end of the base portion, wherein the first extending portion is flexible relative to the frame; anda second extending portion extending from one end thereof to another end thereof in a direction opposite to the second direction, the one end of the second extending portion being connected to the other end of the first extending portion, wherein the second extending portion is movable toward the base portion in a direction opposite to the first direction wherein.
