The composition has low irritativeness and high foamability, and produce creamy foams.

A cover 10 is provided to cover the opening of a toner container 2. The cover 10 is attachable to, and detachable from, the toner container 2. A valve element 12 capable of closing the opening 11 formed in the cover 10 is pressed up to an opening position by a pressing-up portion 20 provided on a developing apparatus side. Shifting of the valve element 12 to the opening position makes it possible to supply the toner from the toner container 2 to the developing apparatus.

Auxiliary device, cartridge and apparatus for toner supply

An electrophotographic developer, such as a toner binder and a coating on a carrier, comprises a polyester having an acid value of 5 KOH mg/g or less and a hydroxyl value of 60 KOH mg/g or less, having a linear structure without crosslinking or a crosslinked structure provided by a monomer having three or more reactive groups. A toner having the polyester as a binder is effectively charged positively or negatively.

Electrophotographic developer comprising polyester resin of specified

A toner for developing electrostatic latent images which comprises a colorant and two kinds of polyester is disclosed. The fFirst polyester is a nonlinear polyester that is composed of monomers including monomers of trivalence or higher valency and which satisfies the following conditions A1 and A2, the second polyester is a nonlinear polyester that is composed of monomers including monomers of trivalence or higher valency and which satisfies the following conditions B1 and B2, and the difference between the softening points of said first and second polyesters is at least 10.degree. C.

Toner for developing electrostatic latent image

A toner composition for electrophotography contains a binder resin, coloring material, and other additive as required, characterized in that the principal component of the binder resin is a polyester resin formed by co-condensation of

Toner composition for electrophotography

A polyester for use as an electrophotographic toner composition is obtained by copolycondensation of (a) a diol component of polyoxyalkylene-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane and (b) an acid component, improved by incorporating into the acid component a copolymer of styrene or a derivative thereof and a carboxylic vinyl monomer. A copolymer of an unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon and an unsaturated carboxylic acid and a polymer and copolymer of an unsaturated carboxylic acid may be used. The toner is improved in the prevention of off-set in the fixation step.
