DEVELOPER SUPPLY CONTAINER AND DEVELOPER SUPPLY SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC G03G15/08 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: present invention relates to developer supply container mounted in developer receiving device with possibility of dismantling. Disclosed group of inventions includes variants of developer supply containers. Developer supply container comprises: a developer holding portion configured to receive the developer, a developer discharge portion in fluid communication with the developer holding portion, at that, part of developer unloading has unloading hole made with possibility of formation of at least part of discharge channel, through which developer can be unloaded to outside of developer supply container, wherein the unloading channel end is located on the lower side of the developer supply container and the developer holding portion is configured to rotate about its axis of rotation relative to the developer discharge part, wherein the developer holding portion is equipped with a gear portion provided around said rotation axis, and on each of the developer unloading sides opposite sides a guide is provided, wherein each guide is located below the horizontal plane including said rotation axis, and each guide includes a first portion extending from a first position to a second position, where the second position is closer to the gear part in the direction of the said rotation axis than the first position to the gear part in the direction of the said rotation axis, wherein the first portion is elevated such that the second position is closer to the horizontal plane than the first position to the horizontal plane, and said first part has a surface facing upward and a second portion extending from the second position of the first portion such that the plane perpendicular to said axis of rotation and passing through the second portion crosses the end of the discharge channel, when unloading channel is formed, through which developer is discharged outside of developer supply container.

EFFECT: technical result consists in providing a developer supply container configured to simplify the connection of the developer receiving portion with the developer supply container by the developer receiving portion offset, as well as in providing such developer supply container, so that developer supply container and developer receiving device can be properly connected to each other, wherein condition of reliable connection between container of developer supply and part of developer receiving is provided.
