SEALING MEMBER, SEALING METHOD FOR TONR CONTAINER AND PROCESS CARTRIDGE

摘要

PURPOSE:To prevent the buckling of a sealing member on a sealing adhesive surface and to simplify resealing even when a contact area is small by forming notches parallel in a longitudinal direction with nearly the same interval as the width of a slit on a flexible sheet. CONSTITUTION:The resealing member 26 is constituted of the flexible sheet 26a, a sticky part 26b provided at a sealing part 26a1, and a peeling sheet 26c covering the sticky part 26b. The flexible sheet 26a is set so that relation between the length L1 of the sealing part 26a1 in entire length L and the length L2 of a pull part 26a2 may be L2>L1. Dimension in a width direction is set so that the width W of the sealing part 26a1 may be longer than the width of the slit 27 between a toner container and a developing frame. Two notches 26d are formed in parallel with the longitudinal direction with the same interval W1 as the width of the slit 27 on the sealing part 26a1. Furthermore, the width W2 of the pull part 26b is set to shorter than the width of the slit 27.
