摘要： A developing device for an image forming apparatus may include a seal and a casing to prevent leakage of developer. In some examples, the seal member may include multiple side surfaces while the casing may include projections that may abut and contact various surfaces of the seal member. According to one arrangement, the casing may include first, second and third protrusions, where each protrusion is configured to abut and contact a corresponding surface of the seal member. Additionally, the second projection may protrude in a position inside of the first projection while the third projection may protrude in a position between the first and second projections.

摘要： A developing device includes a developer carrier which carries a developer, a developing unit housing which rotatably supports the developer carrier, a side seal member which comes into slidable contact with both ends of the developer carrier, a sheet-like elongated seal member which extends in the axial direction of the developer carrier so as to come into slidable contact with the developer carrier, a side seal attachment surface which is formed in the developing unit housing and to which the side seal member is attached, and a support portion which is formed in the developing unit housing and protrudes toward the developer carrier from the side seal attachment surface to support the elongated seal member. The elongated seal member is attached onto the support portion in a state where both ends thereof overlap the side seal member and are opposite the side seal attachment surface. A filler is filled in a gap surrounded by the elongated seal member, the side seal member, the support portion, and the side seal attachment surface. A protrusion for suppressing the spread of the filler is formed at the side seal attachment surface at a predetermined interval from the support portion.

摘要： A developer cartridge includes a developer cartridge case for accommodating a developer, a developing roller, a toner layer thickness control blade, and a side sealing member. The developing roller is supported by the developer cartridge case such that a circumferential surface thereof is exposed to an outside of the developer cartridge case along a width direction. The toner layer thickness control blade includes a blade body portion made of a metallic plate. A tip portion of the blade body portion is disposed at a sliding portion of the developing roller and the side sealing member so as to contact with the side sealing member. A frictional heat generated at the sliding portion is released to the outside of the developer cartridge case through the blade body portion in order restrain a leak of the developer as much as possible.

摘要： Several different apparatuses are provided that can be configured to detect whether a developing cartridge, an image carrier cartridge, and a process cartridge are installed in an image forming apparatus. A shielding member is configured to move between a blocking position where the shielding member blocks light emitted from a detector provided in the main body frame of an image forming apparatus and an unblocking position where the shielding member does not block the light emitted from the detector. The shielding member is in the blocking position when the developing cartridge is removed from an image carrier cartridge and in the unblocking position when the developing cartridge is installed in the image carrier cartridge. Also, an installation detecting device may be provided to determine whether an image carrier cartridge and a developing cartridge are installed in the main body frame based on the amount of the light received by a detector.
