Removably mountable frame for an image processsing apparatus, a removably mountable adaptor for an image processing apparatus and cartridges for use with a removably frame and removably mountable adaptor

A removably mountable frame comprising:

• a driving force receiving means adapted to engage a driving force transmitting means of an image processing apparatus when the removably mountable frame is received within the image processing apparatus;
• and
• at least two frame driving force transmitting means, each frame driving force transmitting means having a gear located at the same end thereof adapted to engage at least one cartridge driving force receiving means of a cartridge when the cartridge is engagedly received within the removably mountable frame,
• wherein the external configuration of the removably mountable frame when the cartridge is received therein is adapted to be received within the image processing apparatus, and wherein the driving force receiving means adapted to engage a driving force transmitting means of an image processing apparatus is further adapted to transfer driving force applied thereto to each of the at least two frame driving force transmitting means.

A removably mountable adaptor comprising:

• a driving force receiving means adapted to engage a driving force transmitting means of an image processing apparatus when the removably mountable adaptor is received within the image processing apparatus;
• and
• at least one adaptor driving force transmitting means, each adaptor driving force transmitting means adapted to co-axially engage corresponding cartridge driving force receiving means of a cartridge when the cartridge is engagedly connected to the removably mountable adaptor,
• where the external configuration of the removably mountable adaptor when the cartridge is connected thereto is adapted to be received within the image processing apparatus and where the driving force receiving means adapted to engage a driving force transmitting means of an image processing apparatus is further adapted to transfer driving force applied thereto to each of the at least one adaptor driving force transmitting means.

A removably mountable adaptor comprising:

• a driving force receiving means adapted to engage a driving force transmitting means of an image processing apparatus when the removably mountable adaptor is received within the image processing apparatus;
• and
• at least two adaptor driving force transmitting means, each adaptor driving force transmitting means having a gear located at the same end thereof adapted to engage at least one cartridge driving force receiving means of a cartridge when the cartridge is engagedly connected to the removably mountable adaptor,
• wherein the external configuration of the removably mountable adaptor when the cartridge is connected thereto is adapted to be received within the image processing apparatus and wherein the driving force receiving means adapted to engage a driving force transmitting means of an image processing apparatus is further adapted to transfer driving force applied thereto to each of the at least two adaptor driving force transmitting means.
