Summary: | PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a developer storing unit capable of discharging developer well from a deformable and flexible container.SOLUTION: A developer storing unit 25 includes: a flexible storing member 34 which has an opening 35a to store developer T; and a pressing member 21 which is rotatably supported at a position facing the storing member 34, for pressing the storing member 34. The pressing member 21 includes: a rotational shaft 60 which has a recess J that recesses toward a rotational center O; a pressing sheet 21b attached to the rotational shaft 60; and a sealing member 19 which seals the opening 35a and is released from the storing member 34 as the rotational shaft 60 rotates. Relating to the recess J, when pressing the storing member 34 by the pressing sheet 21b, the sealing member 19 enters the recess J so that a space V is formed between the sealing member 19 and the opening 35a.
【課題】 変形可能な可撓性容器から現像剤を良好に排出することができる現像剤収納ユニットを提供する。【解決手段】 開口35aを有し、可撓性を有し、現像剤Tを収納可能な収納部材34と、収納部材34に対向する位置で回転可能に支持され、収納部材34を押圧する押圧部材21と、を備え、押圧部材21は、回転中心Oに向かって凹む凹部Jを有する回転軸60と、回転軸60に取付けられる押圧シート21bと、開口35aを封止して回転軸60が回転するに従って収納部材34から剥離される封止部材19と、を有し、凹部Jは、押圧シート21bで収納部材34を押圧する際に、凹部Jの中に封止部材19が入り込むことにより封止部材19と開口35aとの間に空間Vを形成する現像剤収納ユニット25を構成した。【選択図】 図5 |
