Abstract:
A lever member is displaceably provided to a toner container. A container locking mechanism locks the toner container at a mounting position in a container mounting portion when the lever member is operated from a first operation position to a second operation position in a state where the toner container is located at the mounting position. A locking member is displaceable between a lever locking position and a lever releasing position. A locking control portion controls a drive portion to displace the locking member to the lever locking position when a remaining amount of the toner detected by the remaining amount detection portion is equal to or greater than a predetermined amount, and controls the drive portion to displace the locking member to the lever releasing position when the remaining amount of the toner detected by the remaining amount detection portion is less than the predetermined amount.

Claim (Index 1):
An image forming apparatus comprising:\n a toner container having a toner discharge port through which toner within a container body is discharged; a container mounting portion configured to detachably mount the toner container; a lever member displaceably provided to the toner container; a container locking mechanism configured to lock the toner container at a mounting position in the container mounting portion when the lever member is operated from a first operation position to a second operation position in a state where the toner container is located at the mounting position; a locking member configured to be displaceable between a lever locking position at which the locking member is engaged with the lever member to lock the lever member at the second operation position and a lever releasing position at which the locking member is retracted from the lever locking position to unlock the lever member locked at the second operation position; a drive portion configured to provide driving force to the locking member; a remaining amount detection portion configured to detect a remaining amount of the toner within the container body; and a locking control portion configured to control the drive portion to displace the locking member to the lever locking position when the remaining amount of the toner detected by the remaining amount detection portion is equal to or greater than a predetermined amount, and to control the drive portion to displace the locking member to the lever releasing position when the remaining amount of the toner detected by the remaining amount detection portion is less than the predetermined amount.
