Toner agitator system for a replaceable unit for an image forming device

摘要

A replaceable unit (200) for an image forming device according to one example includes a housing (210) having a reservoir for storing toner. A rotatable agitator (230) is positioned in the reservoir. A pivotable agitator (240) is positioned in an upper portion of the reservoir above the rotatable agitator. A biasing member (274) biases the pivotable agitator toward a stop in the pivot path of the pivotable agitator. The stop defines a home position of the pivotable agitator. The pivotable agitator includes an engagement feature (246) positioned in the rotational path of the rotatable agitator when the pivotable agitator is in the home position. As the rotatable agitator (230) rotates, the rotatable agitator engages the engagement feature (246) causing the pivotable agitator (240) to pivot away from the home position. As the rotatable agitator rotates further, the rotatable agitator disengages the engagement feature causing the pivotable agitator to return to the home position as a result of the bias.
