Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A cartridge includes: a frame; a rotation body; a driving force transmission unit; a closing member; and a moving member. The frame is formed with a filling port for filling an internal space of the cartridge with a developing agent therethrough. The closing member is configured to close the filling port. The moving member is configured to be irreversibly moved to one of a covered position and an exposed position by an external driving force transmitted through the driving force transmission unit. The moving member covers at least a portion of the closing member when the moving member is at the covered position. The moving member exposes the closing member when the moving member is at the exposed position. The exposed position provides an exposing degree greater than that at the covered position.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A cartridge comprising: a frame defining an internal space for accommodating therein developing agent, the frame being formed with a filling port for filling the internal space with the developing agent therethrough; a rotation body having a rotation axis extending in a predetermined direction, the rotation body being provided at the frame and rotatable about the rotation axis relative to the frame; a driving force transmission unit provided at the frame…
