摘要： A developing device is usable with an electrophotographic image forming apparatus including a shaft and a rotary unit mounting the device. When mounted, the device is movable perpendicular to a shaft axial direction in response to movement of the rotary unit and the shaft is not movable in that direction. The device includes a developing roller that contacts and separates from a drum in response to movement of the rotary unit, and a coupler transmitting a rotating force to the roller. The coupler includes a portion engaging the shaft to receive a rotating force and a portion transmitting the received rotating force to the roller. The coupler takes a first position for transmitting the rotational force to the roller, a position before the coupler engages the shaft and is inclined away from the first position, and a position for the disengagement of the coupler and the shaft.

摘要： A cartridge includes a coupling member for receiving a rotational force for rotating a developing roller. A cylindrical member movably supports one end portion of the coupling member inside of the cylindrical member. A cylindrical member side force receiving portion is provided inside the cylindrical member, with the cylindrical member side force receiving portion receiving the rotational force received by the coupling member. A first regulating portion is provided inside of the cylindrical member for preventing one end portion of the coupling member from disengaging in an axial direction of the cylindrical member. The first regulating portion is deformable outwardly in a radial direction of the cylindrical member so as to allow the one end portion of the coupling member to disengage in the axial direction of the cylindrical member.
