    摘要: A powder container includes a discharge port configured to discharge powder stored in the powder container, a container shutter configured to open and close the discharge port, a first rotation portion configured to be engageable with an engagement portion of a removable component, an operation device configured to rotate the first rotation portion in conjunction with an operation of the operation device, and a contact portion included in the first rotation portion. The engagement portion opens and closes a cartridge shutter to open and close an inlet port of the removable component. A restriction member of the removable component is configured to restrict the rotation of the engagement portion. The contact portion contacts the restriction member to cancel the restriction member from restricting rotation of the engagement portion in conjunction with attachment of the powder container to the removable component.

    摘要: When closing a front cover opened in a case where a fixing lever is placed in a fixing position, a guide plate portion formed on the front cover raises the fixing lever together with a support shaft. When a connection pin of the fixing lever enters a cam groove provided in the front cover, the fixing lever obtains a closed state in which the fixing lever is connected to the cam groove.

    摘要: A powder container is detachably attached to an image forming apparatus or a removable component in the image forming apparatus. The powder container includes an operation device and a rotation portion to rotate with operation of the operation device. The rotation portion is configured to contact a wall of the image forming apparatus or the removable component in a state in which the rotation portion maintains a posture in a direction of attachment of the powder container to the image forming apparatus or the removable component and is rotatable together with an engagement portion, which is opposed to the wall, of the image forming apparatus or the removable component while engaging the engagement portion, without hindering the powder container from moving in the direction of attachment, to restrain the powder container from moving in a direction of detachment from the image forming apparatus or the removable component.

    摘要: A drive transmission device, which is included in an image forming apparatus, includes a drive transmission device including first and second rotary bodies, first and second grooves, a link device linking the first and second rotary bodies, a stopper, a guide groove, and a communication portion. The link device includes first and second inserting bodies and a link body linking the first and second inserting bodies. The stopper stops the first projection from being detached from the first groove. The guide groove guides the first projection into the first hollow body. The communication portion causes the guide groove and the first groove to communicate with each other. The first hollow body relieves the second projection closer to the first rotary body than the stopper in the axial direction of the first rotary body and in the direction of rotation of the first rotary body in assembly.
