Image formation unit for image forming device e.g. copier, has latent-image holder unit with waste developing-agent accommodation section through which developing agent is sent to developing-agent reflex mechanism

摘要

A connection mechanism (8) connects a waste developing-agent accommodation section (6) of a latent-image holder unit (1) to a developing-agent reflex mechanism (7) of an image development unit (2). Through the waste developing-agent accommodation section, the developing agent is sent to the developing-agent reflex mechanism by the operation of lever switching mechanism (5). Independent claims are also included for the following: (a) Latent-image holder unit; (b) Image development unit; (c) Image forming device
