Abstract
A toner container includes a containing portion and a cover. The cover is generally to be positioned adjacent a toner sump and the containing portion slid off the cover onto the sump. To prevent accidental removal of the cover when the container is not in a receiving apparatus, a releasable latch is provided for holding the cover on the container. The latch is releasable by the same motion used to position the containing portion over the sump.
