Patent number: 11921456Abstract: An example image forming apparatus includes a frame, a first shaft supported by the frame, and a first coupler. The first coupler includes a body coupled to one end of the first shaft and a first protrusion protruding from the body in an axial direction of the first shaft, the first protrusion having a first surface and a second protrusion protruding from the first surface. The second protrusion is to lock with a groove to mount a cartridge on the frame, the first shaft is to provide a rotational force in a first rotational direction to rotate the second protrusion of the first coupler and to insert the second protrusion into the groove to lock with the cartridge, and the first surface of the first protrusion of the first coupler is to contact a second surface to transmit the rotational force to the second coupler in the first rotational direction.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2023Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Pil-Seung Oh, Taeil Jung, Tae-Hee Kim, Chang-Woo Lee

Patent number: 11314197Abstract: An image forming apparatus according to an example includes a main body, a driving coupler to drive a toner cartridge. The driving coupler is rotatable in a direction, a locking protrusion protrudes from an axial protrusion of the driving coupler in the direction of the driving shaft is lockable into a locking groove concavely formed in the direction of the driving shaft of a passive coupler of the toner cartridge. A driving force transmission surface of the axial protrusion of the driving coupler and a driving force receiving surface of the passive coupler are to contact each other to rotate the passive coupler in the direction.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2019Date of Patent: April 26, 2022Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Pil-Seung Oh, Taeil Jung, Tae-Hee Kim, Chang-Woo Lee
