    摘要: A process cartridge detachably mountable to a main assembly of an electrophotographic image forming apparatus, comprising:

    a cartridge frame;
    an electrophotographic photosensitive drum supported on the cartridge frame;
       wherein the photosensitive drum has a downstream side end, with respect to a mounting direction in which the process cartridge is mounted to t main assembly of the apparatus in the axial direction of the photosensitive drum, is supported on the cartridge frame for movement n a direction crossing with the axis direction of the photosensitive drum;

    process means actable on the photosensitive drum;
    a cartridge drum positioning portion for positioning the photosensitive drum to t main assembly of the apparatus by engagement with a main assembly drum positioning portion provided in the main assembly of the apparatus when the process cartridge is mounted to t main assembly of the apparatus, wherein the cartridge drum positioning portion is disposed coaxially with the photosensitive drum;
    a cartridge frame positioning portion for positioning the cartridge frame to t main assembly of the apparatus by engagement with a main assembly frame positioning portion provided in the main assembly of the apparatus when the process cartridge is mounted to the main assembly of the apparatus;
       wherein the cartridge frame positioning portion is disposed at a leading end portion with respect to a mounting direction in which the process cartridge is mounted to the main assembly of the apparatus, and the cartridge frame positioning portion is disposed so as to be coaxial with the photosensitive drum when the cartridge drum positioning portion is engaged with the main assembly drum positioning portion so that photosensitive drum is positioned to the main assembly of the apparatus.
