There are provided a developer accommodating portion for accommodating the developer, a discharge portion formed with a discharge opening for discharging the developer accommodated in the developer accommodating portion, and an engaging portion. The engaging portionis engaged with an engaged portionwith a mounting operation of a developer supply containerto displace a developer receiving portionin an upward direction U so that the receiving opening communicates with the discharge opening. The engaging portionhas a holding portionwhich is provided rotatably about a rotation shaftand is provided with holding portionto be engaged with the engaged portionto hold the engaged portion. With the mounting operation, the engaging portionrotates about the rotation shaftso that the engaged portionheld by the holding portionmoves upward U.

Developer supply container and developer supplying system

A developer supply container includes a developer accommodating portion accommodating developer, and a developer discharging portion in fluid communication with the developer accommodating portion. The developer accommodating portion is rotatable about a rotational axis and relative to the developer discharging portion, with the developer discharging portion being provided with a developer discharge opening at a bottommost side of the developer discharging portion and configured to permit discharging the developer to outside of the developer supply container. A lifter is linearly liftable relative to the developer discharging portion in a direction perpendicular to a horizontal plane that includes the rotational axis when the developer supply container is oriented with the developer discharge opening positioned at a bottom side of the developer discharging portion.

With a mounting operation of a supply container, a supported portionof a developer receiving portionis supported by a receipt supporting portionof a lifting portion. With further mounting operation, a shutter sliding portionof the lifting portionslides on a shutter inclined portionof a shutter. The developer receiving portionis displaced so as to bring a receiving opening into communication with a discharge opening by operating, using the shutter, the lifting portionsupporting the supported portionof the developer receiving portion. By this, a load required for movement of the developer receiving portionis reduced to achieve smooth mounting of the supply container.

A vehicular radar includes a transmitter for outputting a transmitted electromagnetic wave; an antenna unit for radiating the transmitted electromagnetic wave and receiving a electromagnetic wave reflected by an object to be detected as a received electromagnetic wave; a receiver for detecting the reflected electromagnetic wave received by the antenna unit; and a signal processor for processing an output signal from the receiver to output information about the object. The antenna unit includes a single electromagnetic radiator for radiating the transmitted electromagnetic wave, a single reflector for reflecting the transmitted electromagnetic wave from the electromagnetic radiator and radiating the transmitted electromagnetic wave as a beam, and a reflector swinging device for swinging the reflector so as to successively change a direction of the beam. The reflector swinging device includes a first arm, a second arm, a swinging pivot, a cam and a cam follower.

Vehicular radar

In a vehicle optical radar apparatus according to this invention, assembly properties are improved, limitations on design in mounting the apparatus on a vehicle are canceled, and satisfactory distance measuring performance can be obtained. In this vehicle optical radar apparatus, a light-emitting element is arranged on one end side of a hollow shaft of a pulse motor. A mirror assembly obtained by integrally molding a light-sending mirror and a light-receiving mirror is fixed to the other end of the hollow shaft. A light-receiving element is arranged at a focus position of the light-receiving mirror. A light-sending beam emitted from a light-emitting element is guided to the light-sending mirror through a light-sending lens and the hollow portion of the hollow shaft to be irradiated outside a case. The light-sending beam reflected by an object is reflected from and focused on the light-receiving mirror and then received by the light-receiving element.

Vehicle optical radar apparatus

Disclosed herein is an optical-axis adjusting device for a vehicle light radar device where a light-transmitting window for irradiating a beam of light to an object of measurement and a light-receiving window for receiving reflected light from the object are disposed. The optical-axis adjusting device comprises an adjusting unit provided at the front of the light radar device for adjusting the irradiating direction of the beam of light.

Optical-axis adjusting device for a vehicle light radar service

In this vehicle optical radar apparatus, the number of parts constituting an oscillating mechanism can be reduced, assembling facilities can be improved, an accumulated error of the parts can be decreased, and light weight and low cost can be obtained. An oscillating member (29) consists of a resin-molded product constituted by a light-sending mirror holding portion (33), a light-receiving mirror holding portion (34), and a cylindrical member. A shaft (30) fitted with the cylindrical member of the oscillating member (29) and a rotating shaft (22a) of a pulse motor are pivotally supported by a housing (24) and a cover which are the case of the pulse motor and consist of a resin-molded product. A follower (36) is rotatably attached to a follower attachment plate (35) attached to the light-receiving mirror holding portion (34). The follower (36) is stored in an eccentric cam groove (26a) of the cam (26) fixed to the rotating shaft (22a). Therefore, a light-sending mirror (14) and the light-receiving mirror (15) are synchronously oscillated about the shaft (30) as serving as an oscillation center.

An optical type range finder apparatus for a motor vehicle. Dew condensation and deposition on an inner surface of an irradiation laser beam projecting window is prevented even in the environment where a front surface of the range finder is cooled down steeply, for ensuring a stable distance measuring performance. The apparatus projects outwardly an irradiation light beam (LE) from the motor vehicle and detects a distance between the motor vehicle and an object on the basis of known relation between the irradiation light beam (LE) and an echo light beam (LR) from the object existing in environment of the motor vehicle. An irradiation window (3a) includes a first light-transmissive panel (7) having a surface exposed to the exterior, a second light-transmissive panel (21) having a surface exposed to the interior of the range finder apparatus, and a heat insulation space (24) formed by an air layer confined between the first light-transmissive panel (7) and the second light-transmissive panel (21).
