  • Patent number: 9952533
    Abstract: Provided is a powder transporting device including: a powder transport path through which a powder loading port, from which powder is loaded in the path, communicates with a powder unloading port disposed with being shifted in a horizontal direction from a position perpendicularly below the powder loading port, and which has a lateral direction transport path and a longitudinal-direction transport path, is disposed to be bent with respect to the lateral direction transport path; a powder transport member that includes a lateral direction transport member, which is movable along the lateral direction transport path, and a longitudinal-direction transport member and that transports powder along the lateral direction transport path and the longitudinal-direction transport path; a drive input portion that leaves a rotational track; and a regulation member that regulates the behavior of the powder transport member.

  • Publication number: 20160147191
    Abstract: A rotor bearing member is attached to a support body. The support body includes a guide section that supports a first member and a second member such that the first member and the second member are movable toward a rotor. The first member includes a rotary shaft and rotates about the rotary shaft thereof while being in contact with the rotor. The second member includes a rotary shaft extending along the rotary shaft of the first member and cleans a surface of the first member while rotating in contact with the first member. The rotor bearing member includes a first bearing member and a second bearing member that rotatably support the rotary shaft of the second member and the rotary shaft of the first member, respectively, while the first bearing member and the second bearing member abut each other.
