TONER HOPPER OF IMAGE FORMING DEVICE

摘要

PURPOSE:To prevent splashing of a toner at the time of injection by providing a 1st collapsibly openable/closable cap body and 2nd cap body covering the 1st cap body to a toner replenishing port. CONSTITUTION:The toner hopper of an image forming device which houses the toner replenished from the outside through the toner replenishing port and replenishes the toner to a part to be supplied with the toner is provided with the 1st collapsibly openable/closable cap body 4 in the replenishing port 3 and the 2nd cap body 2 covering the 1st cap body 4. Since the 1st cap body 4 is expanded at the time of injecting the toner into said hopper, the formation of the 1st cap body 4 as a replenishing guide or replenishing duct is possible. The operation for injecting the toner into the hopper is thereby greatly facilitated and the splashing of the toner to the circumference is surely prevented.
