Toner cartridge having magnetic coupling
摘要:
A toner cartridge having a magnetically coupled drive apparatus is provided. The cartridge provides a first toner holding member that houses toner and a second toner holding member adjacent to the first member that houses toner. A dividing wall separates the first toner holding member from the second toner holding member. A toner shifting component shifts the waste toner housed in the first toner holding member and a toner stirring component stirs the fresh toner housed in the second toner holding member. The toner shifting component and toner stirring component are magnetically coupled through the dividing wall so that when the toner stirring component rotates the toner shifting component rotates. The magnetic coupling disposed between the toner shifting component and toner stirring component engages without an opening through the dividing wall. As a result, waste toner cannot pass through the dividing wall into the fresh toner housing and vice versa.
