Recovered toner receiving bottle

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To improve considerably the storage efficiency of a waste toner bottle to a magnetic toner by using magnetism from the external to move the magnetic toner stored in the bottle. CONSTITUTION:Both poles 3a and 3b of a U-shaped permanent magnet 3 are allowed to face a waste toner bottle body 1b to generate a spindle-shaped magnetic field. A projection 4 provided with a slit is provided under the magnet 3, and a pin 5 fixed to a wire 6 stretched between pulleys 7 and 8 is fitted to the slit of the projection 4. When pulleys 7 and 8 are rotated forward and backward to move the magnet 3 back and forth throughout in the direction of the X axis, a waste toner 2 stored in the body 1b is made flat uniformly, and thus, the space in the waste toner bottle 1 is used sufficiently, and the toner 2 is discharged without dropping because a recovery mouth 1a is sufficiently narrow.
