13-1. Developing Unit Drive Mechanism

D Drive is transmitted from the copier to the Developing Unit by Coupling Gears 1 and
2 when they mesh.
D Coupling Gear 2 is spring-loaded. If the protruding part of Coupling Gear 1 makes
contact with that of Coupling Gear 2 when the Developing Unit is slid into the copier,
spring-loaded Coupling Gear 2 is pushed back toward the rear of the copier allow-
ing the Developing Unit to be slid into position. When drive is later transmitted to
the Developing Unit, Coupling Gar 2 is pushed to the front by the tension of the
spring to mesh positively with Coupling Gear 1.
