    摘要: An image forming apparatus comprises (i) a main assembly including a spacing member, and (ii) a process cartridge detachably mountable to the main assembly. The process cartridge includes a spacing force receiving portion configured to receive a spacing force for moving a developing roller away from a photosensitive drum, from the spacing member of the main assembly, and a contact portion configured to contact the spacing member to retract the spacing member. The spacing member is movable between three different positions which are, (a) a first position for applying the spacing force to the spacing force receiving portion to move the developing roller in a direction away from the photosensitive drum, (b) a second position deviated from the first position in a direction away from the spacing force receiving portion to permit the developing roller to approach to the photosensitive drum, and (c) a third position which is a retracted position provided by contacting the contact portion to avoid interference with the process cartridge.

    摘要: An image forming apparatus comprises: (i) a main assembly including a spacing member and a movable member movable while supporting the spacing member, wherein the spacing member is movable relative to the movable member between a normal position and a retracted position retracted from the normal position; and (ii) a process cartridge detachably mountable to the main assembly. The process cartridge includes a spacing force receiving portion configured to receive a spacing force for moving the developing roller in a direction away from a photosensitive drum, from the spacing member of the main assembly, and a contact portion configured to contact the spacing member to retract the spacing member. When the spacing member is in the normal position, the spacing member is capable of applying the spacing force to the spacing force receiving portion by movement of the movable member, and wherein the spacing member is retractable from the normal position to the retracted position by being contacted by the contact portion of the process cartridge.
