Abstract: An error proof device for restricting assembling of a specific toner cartridge into an electronic image-forming apparatus only after the toner cartridge is rotated about a rotation axis includes a guiding portion at the apparatus and a retaining portion at the toner cartridge. The guiding portion has an axial groove and a positioning groove having a circular arc section. The retaining portion has an axial post located at the rotation axis and inserted into the axial groove, and a lateral post spaced from the axial post and inserted into the positioning groove. When the toner cartridge is rotated about the rotation axis, the lateral post moves along the circular arc section of the positioning groove. With the error proof device, a user can positively install a toner cartridge into an accuracy position, thereby avoiding material waste and undesired cleaning procedure due to error installation.

Abstract: A toner cartridge includes a housing having a first mouth and a second mouth, a rotator having a first opening and a second opening and being rotatably mounted on the housing in such a manner that the first and second mouths are accessible through the first and second openings respectively, and a sliding cover having a through hole and being slidably disposed on the housing in such a manner that the second mouth is closeable by the sliding cover. When the rotator is erroneously forced to rotate relative to the housing, the first mouth of the housing exposes outside through the first opening of the rotator and the second mouth of the housing will be covered by the sliding cover. Therefore, the leakage of the toner caused by a user's erroneous operation of the toner cartridge of the present invention can be effectively reduced.
