DETACHABLE DEVICE, DEVELOPER CONTAINER, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a detachable device that is less likely to generate contact failure due to poor positioning of a connector of an image forming apparatus body to a main body-side terminal even when a contact-type information storage device is installed to a detachable device that is detachably installed to an image forming apparatus body, as well as a developer container, and an image forming apparatus.

SOLUTION: A detachable device 34Y has a holding part 34k that holds an information storage device 35 installed thereto. The information storage device 35 holds an information storage part and a plurality of terminals 35a, and is provided with a substrate 35b that has a notch for positioning formed thereon, which is for engaging with a protrusion 73e3 for positioning installed to an image forming apparatus body 73 and for positioning the plurality of terminals 35a. The holding part 34k holds the information storage device 35 so as to move on a virtual plane that intersects with the detachable device 34Y in a detaching direction relative to the image forming apparatus body 73.
