Abstract:
A toner container according to one example embodiment includes a housing having a reservoir for storing toner and a drive shaft positioned in the reservoir. The drive shaft is rotatable about a rotational axis in an operative rotational direction. A toner agitator extends from the drive shaft in the reservoir. The toner agitator is rotatable around the rotational axis of the drive shaft as the drive shaft rotates. The toner agitator folds relative to the drive shaft counter to the operative rotational direction if resistance to rotation of the toner agitator provided by toner in the reservoir exceeds a threshold amount. The toner agitator is biased relative to the drive shaft in the operative rotational direction. A radial length of the toner agitator decreases when the toner agitator folds relative to the drive shaft counter to the operative rotational direction.

Claim (Index 7):
The toner container of  claim 6 , wherein the drive arm includes a first drive arm and a second drive arm that are axially spaced from each other relative to the rotational axis of the drive shaft, each of the first drive arm and the second drive arm extends radially from the drive shaft and is fixed to rotate with the drive shaft, the toner agitator is pivotally mounted about the pivot axis to the first and the second drive arms.
