Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0805379A1] A toner cartridge for use with a toner developing device (10) includes a toner cartridge body (202) having first and second ends, a toner exhaust port (206) between the first and second ends, a toner cartridge shielding member (204) rotatably mounted on the toner body to open and close the toner exhaust port as the toner body is rotated with respect to the development device and the toner box shielding member, and a pair of protrusions (218) formed on each side of the toner box shielding member. Each of the pair of protrusions are structured to engage a developing device shielding member (614) movably positioned over a toner introduction port of the developing device. Rotation of the toner body with respect to the development device causes each of the pair of protrusions to engage and displace the developing device shielding member to open and close the toner introduction port as the toner exhaust port rotates to align with the toner introduction port. <IMAGE>
