摘要： A process cartridge is detachably mountable to a main assembly of an electrophotographic image forming apparatus. The process cartridge includes an electrophotographic photosensitive drum, a drum unit containing the electrophotographic photosensitive drum, a developing roller for developing an electrostatic latent image formed on the electrophotographic photosensitive drum, and a developing unit swingably supported by the drum unit and containing the developing roller. The process cartridge also includes an urging member for urging the drum unit and the developing unit to each other so as to press the developing roller against the electrophotographic photosensitive drum. A space keeping member keeps space between the electrophotographic photosensitive drum and the developing roller by engaging with the developing unit and limiting swing of the developing unit against an urging force of the urging member.
