TONER CONTAINER, PROCESS CARTRIDGE AND ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

摘要

This specification discloses a toner container (2) for containing therein a toner used for development by developing means for developing a latent image formed on an electrophotographic photosensitive member, the developing means being supported by a developing frame, the toner container (2) is mounted in an electrophotographic image forming apparatus. The toner container (2) having a toner frame has a toner containing portion containing the toner therein, a toner supply opening (28) for supplying the toner contained in the toner containing portion to the developing means, a toner seal (5) for unsealably sealing the toner supply opening (28), a take-up member (4) disposed in a space formed by the developing frame and the toner frame being coupled together for taking up the toner seal (5), and drive force imparting means (6) for imparting a drive force to the take-up member (4).
