Hold down assembly for a developer unit of an image forming device

Abstract

A toner container for use with a developer unit of an image forming device includes a body having a reservoir for holding toner and an engagement arm that is movable relative to the body between a disengaged position and an engaged position. The engagement arm includes a first engagement surface for contacting a cam surface in the image forming device and receiving an actuation force from the cam surface to move the engagement arm from the disengaged position to the engaged position when the toner container is inserted into the image forming device. The engagement arm includes a second engagement surface for contacting and applying a hold-down force on a portion of the developer unit when the engagement member moves from the disengaged position to the engaged position when the toner container is inserted into the image forming device with the developer unit installed in the image forming device.
