<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a toner cartridge where stored toner is not leaked out by preventing a cap part from coming off even if a dimensional error is found in the member of the toner cartridge. <P>SOLUTION: The toner cartridge 11 is equipped with a toner storing part 14 in which unused toner is stored, and a waste toner collecting part 15 which is provided to be separated from the toner storing part 14 through a partition wall 16. In the toner cartridge 11, an aperture 23 communicating with the toner storing part 14 and the waste toner collecting part 15 is formed on the partition wall 16, and the toner cartridge 11 is equipped with the cap part 24 inserted in the aperture 23 from the waste toner collecting part 15 toward the toner storing part 14 so as to cover over the aperture 23. The waste toner collecting part 15 is equipped with an attachable/detachable cover part 27. The cover part 27 has a projection part 26 pressing the cap part 24 from the side of the waste toner collecting part 15 in an attaching state. At least either the cap part 24 or the projection part 26 has a flexible part 41 which is flexible when the cap part 24 and the projection part 26 come into contact with each other. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
