Abstract: An electronic musical instrument includes a communication unit and a processing unit. The communication unit is capable of performing short-range wireless communication with a terminal. In a case where the terminal performs an operation according to an operation pattern including an operation of repeating, in a predetermined pattern, at least one of transmission of a reading request of data and transmission of writing target data and a writing request for the writing target data while the electronic musical instrument and the terminal are in a state in which the short-range wireless communication is possible, the processing unit performs a process of transmitting corresponding data when the reading request is received using the communication unit, and performs a process of writing the writing target data when the writing target data and the writing request for the writing target data are received via the communication unit.

Abstract: Provided is an image forming unit contained in a flexible bag and held to allow a cushion member to absorb shock. The image forming unit includes: an image carrier on which an electrostatic latent image is formed; a developing device including a developing unit that is configured to develop the electrostatic latent image by turning around a turning center and coming into contact with the image carrier; and a developer accommodating portion that accommodates a developer for use in the developing device. The image forming unit also includes a restricting portion that is provided on an outermost portion of the developing device to come into contact with the cushion material so that rotation of the developing device is restricted.

Abstract: An image formation device includes: a first unit for image formation, attachably and detachably disposed in the image formation device, a power source unit configured to supply electric power to the first unit, a second unit for image formation, attachably and detachably, independently of the first unit, disposed in the image formation device, and disposed between the first unit and the power source unit and a power supply path provided in the second unit, and configured to be supplied with the electric power from the power source unit and supply the electric power to the first unit.

Abstract: A sensor holder includes a holder body that accommodates a sensor, a first snap fit that presses the sensor from a rear surface of the sensor, and two second snap fits that fix the holder body to the housing at at least two points.

Abstract: A developing device includes a developer storing unit that stores a developer before use of the developing device, a developer containing unit that contains, when the developing device is used, the developer stored in the developer storing unit such that the developer is capable of being stirred by the developer containing unit, a developer holding unit that is provided in a portion of the developer containing unit and that holds the developer contained in the developer containing unit and moves the developer in a rotation direction, a sealing unit including a sealing tape portion that seals a slit-shaped opening formed in the developer storing unit along a longitudinal direction of the developer storing unit while the sealing tape portion is capable of being pulled out and that seals the slit-shaped opening of the developer storing unit by being removably fixed onto an edge of the opening and an extended tape portion that is folded at an end of the sealing tape portion in a longitudinal direction of the seal

Abstract: An image forming unit includes an image carrier, a developer carrier, a development housing, and a guide member. The image carrier forms an electrostatic latent image. The developer carrier is in contact with the image carrier while rotating about a rotation axis and facing the image carrier to develop the electrostatic latent image. The development housing accommodates a developer and rotatably supports the developer carrier at one end with an opening portion that is open to the image carrier. The development housing includes an agitation path in which the developer is agitated and a feed path through which the developer is fed to the developer carrier.

Abstract: An image forming unit includes a developing device, a guiding member, and a sealing member. The developing device develops an electrostatic latent image formed on an image carrier that rotates. The developing device has a first ventilation hole that serves as a flow path for an airflow that is generated by rotation of the image carrier. The guiding member guides a recording material to the image carrier. The guiding member has a second ventilation hole that forms the flow path for the airflow in cooperation with the first ventilation hole. The sealing member is disposed between the first ventilation hole and the second ventilation hole. The sealing member has a first end in contact with the developing device and a second end in contact with the guiding member.

Abstract: A developing device includes a housing including a development opening and a containing unit that contains a developer, a developer carrier that rotates to pass through the development opening while holding the developer in the containing unit of the housing, an inlet portion of a flow path located in the housing at a portion including a downstream edge portion of the development opening on a downstream side in a rotation direction of the developer carrier, the inlet portion taking in part of an airflow caused by a rotation of the developer carrier to allow the part of the airflow to flow over an outer surface of the housing, and a guide member extending toward the developer carrier from a portion of the housing on a side of the inlet portion opposite to the development opening to guide the part of the airflow to the inlet portion.

Abstract: A developing device includes a toner holding member that rotates while holding a toner on an outer peripheral surface of the toner holding member and develops an electrostatic latent image formed on an image carrier, a control member that controls a thickness of a layer of the toner formed on the outer peripheral surface of the toner holding member, a suppression member that has an end pressed against the image carrier and that suppresses leakage of the toner, a collecting member that is provided above the control member and that does not allow the toner flowing in a direction from the control member toward the collecting member to pass through the collecting member while allowing a gas to pass through the collecting member, and a containing chamber that contains the toner falling from the collecting member.
