A power supply device include an electronic component unit, and a conductive housing for accommodating the electronic component unit. The housing includes a columnar part extending from a surface of an outer wall of the housing, and a circulating part connected to the columnar part and extending away from the columnar part while circulating in a spiral circulation form. The housing is electrically connected to a ground circuit of the electronic component unit inside the housing.

Power supply device

A powder container including a nozzle receiving opening at one side of the powder container in a longitudinal direction of the powder container, a scoop, at the one side, to scoop up the powder, when the scoop is rotated about a rotational axis, and a holder, at the one side, which is rotatable around the rotational axis relative to the scoop. The holder includes an electrical terminal, facing the longitudinal direction, and the holder and the electrical terminal not intersecting the rotational axis. The electrical terminal is oblique to the rotational axis relative to a vertical direction when the powder container is in a mounted orientation.

Powder container with a nozzle receiver

A powder container includes a nozzle receiving opening, a container body, a nozzle receiver including the nozzle receiving opening; a gear, and two scoops. Further, there is a shutter to open and close the nozzle receiving opening, a spring to bias the shutter, two protrusions which protrude away from the nozzle receiving opening. The scoops extend in the longitudinal direction along a first length, the protrusions extend in the longitudinal direction along a second length, and a position of the first length and a position of the second length at least partly overlap along the longitudinal direction. The powder dropped from the higher position enters the region by passing between the protrusions when the scoops are rotated about the rotational axis, and the protrusions are rotated, due to the rotation of the gear, around the region when the scoops are rotated about the rotational axis.

A powder conveying device includes: a conveying nozzle, provided with a powder receiving opening; an open/close member to open/close the powder receiving opening; a flange provided to the open/close member; a biasing member to bias the open/close member; and a container setting section to which a part of a powder container is to be fit. The powder container includes: a conveyor to convey the powder from a second end of the powder container to a first end; a container opening protruding from the first end; a nozzle receiving opening into which the conveying nozzle is to be inserted; and a butting portion provided in the container opening, to butt against the flange. When the powder container is attached to the powder conveying device, the container opening is fitted to the container setting section, and the flange and the biasing member are housed in an inner space of the container opening.

Nozzle receiver for use with a toner container

A circuit pattern of a power line and a circuit pattern of a signal line are disposed in a first layer of a laminated circuit board device, a circuit pattern of the signal line to be protected is disposed in a second layer, and a circuit pattern of a power line is disposed in a third layer. The shapes of the first circuit pattern of the power line of the first layer and the second circuit pattern of the power line of the third layer are substantially matched with each other with respect to a portion of the second layer facing the circuit pattern of the signal line. The direction of the current of the first circuit pattern coincides with the direction of the current of the second circuit pattern.

Powder container and image forming apparatus

A communication apparatus capable of designating plural destinations in a simple manner. The communication is automatically initiated after the lapse of a predetermined time from the designation of at least one destination, so that the operator is not required to actuate an end key after the designation of plural destinations.
