Document Type and Number:

Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a cap which is hardly separated from the main body of a toner storing container so as to be prevented from being lost by providing a stopper connected to the end of a shaft body or the vicinity thereof and made larger than the aperture of the main body of the container.
SOLUTION: In this internal cap; the shaft body 22 is extended from the bottom part of an internal stopper main body 21, and the stopper 23 is provided at the tip of the shaft body 22 or the vicinity thereof. A projecting shaft part 21a is provided in the center on the surface side of the main body 21. After setting the main body of the container whose aperture part is covered with the internal cap in an image forming device, the shaft part 21a is picked up by the interposing part of a collet chuck and pulled to the outside, so that the internal cap is opened/closed. At such a time, the main body of the container is rotated to supply the toner from the aperture part to a developing part. The stopper 23 is constituted of two or more bar-like or plate-like matters. The stopper 23 is a twisted or untwisted propeller type one. Then, the stopper 23 has length that it can not be pulled out from the neck part of the main body of the container.
