Abstract:
A replaceable unit for an electrophotographic image forming device according to one example embodiment includes an electrical contact positioned on a first side of a housing of the replaceable unit for contacting an electrical contact in the image forming device. A guide on the first side of the housing is positioned closer to a front of the housing than the electrical contact and leads rearward toward the electrical contact. The guide includes an inside surface that faces inward sideways toward a second side of the housing. At least a portion of the inside surface is angled inward sideways from front to rear permitting contact between the inside surface and an electrical connector in the image forming device to draw the electrical connector in the image forming device inward sideways relative to the replaceable unit during insertion of the replaceable unit into the image forming device.

Claim (Index 1):
A toner cartridge, comprising:\n a housing having a top, a bottom, a front, and a rear positioned between a first side and a second side of the housing, the housing has a reservoir for holding toner; an outlet port in fluid communication with the reservoir and facing downward on the front of the housing for exiting toner from the toner cartridge; an electrical contact on the first side of the housing for contacting a corresponding electrical contact in an image forming device when the toner cartridge is installed in the image forming device, the electrical contact of the housing is electrically connected to processing circuitry mounted on the housing; and a guide on the first side of the housing positioned closer to the front of the housing than the electrical contact of the housing is to the front of the housing, the guide leads rearward toward the electrical contact of the housing, the guide includes an inside surface that faces inward sideways toward an outer side surface of the second side of the housing, the inside surface is spaced outward sideways from the outer side surface of the first side of the housing with a gap between the inside surface and the outer side surface of the first side of the housing, the inside surface is unobstructed permitting the inside surface to contact an electrical connector in the image forming device during insertion of the toner cartridge into the image forming device, at least a portion of the inside surface is angled inward sideways in a direction from the front to the rear permitting contact between the inside surface and the electrical connector in the image forming device to draw the electrical connector in the image forming device inward sideways relative to the toner cartridge during insertion of the toner cartridge into the image forming device with the front of the housing leading.
